HMM. Complicated. Let's do this bullet point style.
1) He has not forgiven Yasuragi for Cardigan's death and never will. In a vacuum without consequences, he kill Yasuragi immediately. He'd settle for never having to see Yasuragi again, though. Ace's greatest preference would be to not have Yasuragi around ever again.
2) But, this is not a vacuum without consequences. So his hatred toward Yasuragi is weighed against the safety of his team, and in that regard not making unnecessary trouble for avante comes before his personal satisfaction. He mostly leaves politics to Cardigan but he's not stupid and right now the general outrage doesn't seem worth the satisfaction. Especially since Yasuragi can just come back from the dead. What is the point of killing someone if it doesn't stick?
3) The above also weighed against the fact that Yasuragi seems, as far as Ace can tell, content to take Cardigan at their word and additionally leave avante alone. So while he does not like or trust Yasuragi, and absolutely wishes him harm, he'll accept "Yasuragi leaves avante alone forever" as a consolation outcome.
4) He really enjoyed 2x Taisho/Zrael murder date combo in Dangerbear, though. Goddamn was that satisfying. Especially when they nabbed each other's hearts the second time. The one bright spot in that whole game. He hopes it was a bad time for both teams. Just the worst.
5) While Ace was reluctantly okay with letting things lie as in #3, Yasuragi showing up at the arm wrestle match has piqued his interest and some alarm alarm. It seems out of character for Yasuragi's interactions with Avante since Cardigangate. He is particularly interested by Yasuragi seeking him out. While he doesn't think Yasuragi is out to cause trouble, especially after all that business with fin/WC, he doesn't trust that Yasuragi's intentions are benevolent. That being the case, he'd like to attract and keep Yasuragi's attention and/or ire, if only because Yasuragi focusing on him or Cardigan means Yasuragi won't be focusing so much on the kids(TM). And that's what Ace is here to do, to be their shield.
