This chapter's epigraph comes from a line in the play's opening song, "Ohhhh, oh no." It's a line from a famous nursery rhyme about a fairy who's too small to be a real fairy, but too big to be an actual fairy. The song goes on to say that even though Escanor's strength is increasing, he's not nearly as strong as the real Captain, who is ten times stronger than Escanor. Escanor can't stop the Captain, says the song, because the Captain's power grows with the rising sun, and he'll reach his peak at noon.
