Nico user-added tags for this chapter include our good ol' "There is wabisabi¹", "Acknowledgement", "And thus you have this face"², "And thus you become a father", "I am a papa"³, "You are a papa!", "Haven't the slightest clue how to tackle this problem yet", "It was a good series finale"⁴, and "Why are you taking this so seriously?"⁵.
2. Tag that sort of works like our Reaction Faces pool. Original meme was spawned from a narration line of World Great TV ("The World in Plain Sight! Special Investigation Department"), an NHK documentary slash variety show program.
3. Reference to the titular quote of the main character of "I Am a Cat". Like the original, it uses "wagahai" for "I".
4. Used ironically (and doubles as a praise). The meme came from Genshiken Nidaime Chapter 80/Episode 11, titled "It Was a Good (Series) Finale".
5. Inversion of "Why are you not doing your best?" Signature catchphrase of Ueda Jirou, a character from Trick, a Japanese drama. It's also the title of one of the character's in-universe published books.
He should've thrown away any hope of having a normal party once his healer started referring to him as "Papa" against his will. Any new party member that is cool with that is bound to have a few screws loose themselves. But at least lil' Scatty has enough sense to ask for pats AFTER the fighting is done. Next time, just give her the pats.
