「兄弟的关系」 is a 牵绊 in 异度神剑X. It is located to the northwest of 白鲸街东 in the 商业区 of NLA, between 弗莱伊 and Cross at any time.
Dialogue
- 弗莱伊
- "Hey there, Cross."
- "Care to join us? I was just having a drink with my new 拉斯 friend here."
- "He was telling me how tough it is to be the oldest son in a 拉斯 family. Lots of responsibility having to inherit the family name and sword and all that."
- "I had it pretty tough, too. When I was born, it was just me - but then one day, all outta the blue, everyone said I had to start acting like a big brother."
- "Worse still, 可爱的弟弟弟弟 was better than me at just about everything. That's how I got all bitter and ended up the way I am today."
- "So how about it? If you were in our situation, which brother would you rather be? Older or younger?"
- Cross
- Choice A - Older: Say that you'd rather be an 长老 brother. (+ ♥)
- 弗莱伊
- "Glutton for punishment, huh? Just like me and my 拉斯 friend here."
- "Of course, I bet younger brothers complain they got it worse. But you just gotta review the history to see who's actually right."
- "Let's compare grades back in school, for instance."
- "I averaged about a B-minus. Er, give or take."
- "Then 福格 came along and started getting A-pluses across the board! You wouldn't believe the praise they lavished on him."
- "Look how much smarter he is than 弗莱伊!" Pffft. Buncha crap, but people just couldn't get over it."
- "You ask me, it's not really fair to compare old report cards if you don't pay attention to how a person has grown since, you know?"
- "And what was I supposed to do with that? Argue? I'd look like an even bigger fool!"
- "So I just bottled up all that resentment instead."
- "Looking back on it, I probably should've tried to stay ahead of 福格."
- "But that never really occurred to me at the time."
- "Course, that's all water under the bridge."
- "Phog is 福格 and 弗莱伊 is me, ya know?"
- "And I don't see him being better than me. No way."
- (END)
- Cross
- Choice B - Younger: Say that you'd rather be a younger brother.
- 弗莱伊
- "Taking the easy way out, huh?"
- "But you know what? I bet you'd actually have made a pretty awesome 弟弟."
- "Phog was always an indoor kind of kid. We barely ever played together."
- "He was kinda sickly, too. He'd get heatstroke if we ever played in direct sun for more than 10 minutes. Plus migraines. And don't get me going on allergies!"
- "But you and me? We'd have gone hunting and kayaking and played stickball together and all that. We would have had a ton of fun!"
- "Luckily for 福格, he's got a mimeosome now, so I guess he ain't sickly anymore. Huh..."
- "Maybe once things have settled down a bit, me and him can go fishing together or something."
- (END)
- Cross
- Choice C - Neither: Say that you'd rather be an only child.
- 弗莱伊
- "Aw, come on! You don't mean that."
- "You don't remember stuff from before you got here, right? So you've probably forgotten your family."
- "Well trust me - even when you hate him, it's good to have a brother."
- "Even after being dumped on this weird planet, I still feel a kind of bond that can never be broken."
- "Having family just feels different from having friends. It's weird. I can't explain it."
- "You should give it a shot. Even if you don't have siblings, you can still piece together a family from folks you meet, you know?"
- (END)
