Does anyone know if this is supposed to be some kind of expression これが憎めないんだなぁ?
Pretty sure これが憎めないんだな just refers to Slippy himself. Something like "You
can't bring yourself to dislike him" either because he's cute or some other
reason that makes him likeable. So "he is a bit of a coward, but you just
can't bring yourself to dislike him."

The meaning of the phrase is, surprisingly, pretty literal. Here's a
[website](https://eikaiwa.dmm.com/uknow/questions/12426/) that even translates
it as "lovable".
