「无偿」

「无偿」 is 希梅莉's third 牵绊 in 异度神剑X. It occurs in the morning in the 工业区中心 of NLA.

Dialogue

"Good morning, Cross. To think I'd run into you here, of all places!"

"I've actually just completed a mission."

Support – "Kindly ask 希梅莉 if the mission went well." (+ ♥)

"Oh, it was fine, thank you. It wasn't a very challenging task at all."

"I performed 防守 duty for someone performing early-morning maintenance on the outer wall."

"Fortunately, we didn't encounter any indigens, and the work was completed without incident."

"I just stood there like a scarecrow the entire time, so I didn't even accept the reward."

Inquire – "Bluntly ask 希梅莉 how much she earned."

"I didn't accept any compensation."

"I performed 防守 duty for someone performing early-morning maintenance on the outer wall."

"But we didn't encounter any indigens, so I merely stood there like a scarecrow the entire time."

"Once I've earned enough money to pay the next month's expenses, I decline additional rewards."

"Previously, I would only save an amount equal to a week's expenses, but 奥内拉 convinced me to save more in case of emergencies."

"I pursue 任务 to help others—not for material gain."

"And for that reason, I prefer to refuse rewards whenever possible."

Praise – "Laud Hope's selflessness." (+ ♥)

"Thank you for saying so. Honestly, I haven't met many people who approve of my stance on this matter."

"While it hasn't caused me to waiver in my beliefs, it's always encouraging to have someone's support."

"As a gardener, I've always been fond of this quote: "Money is like manure. It does no good unless you spread it around.""

"And extra money just stinks! …That's not actually part of the quote, but I think the 精灵 is there, at least."

"Money can do wonderful things to help people, but only if you let it find its way to those who need it."

"I'd encourage you to try doing a mission without accepting the reward."

"Needless to say, I'd be honored to be on your team when that happens!"

(END)

Convince – "Persuade 希梅莉 to accept the rewards and save up a little bit of money."

"Ornella said much the same thing."

"I agree that it's a good idea to save some money for emergencies."

"After all, money can solve a lot of problems. It is, as they say, a grand 仆人 and terrible master."

"As a gardener, I've always been fond of this quote: "Money is like manure. It does no good unless you spread it around.""

"And extra money just stinks! …That's not actually part of the quote, but I think the 精灵 is there, at least."

"Do you know where the reward money for BLADE 任务 comes from? In many cases, it's from the pocket of someone who needs help."

"Once they spend all their money to pay the first reward, what will become of them next time?"

"What if they can't afford to pay a reward the next time they're in trouble?"

"That's one of the reasons I refuse rewards. So that the people I've helped will be able to afford help again."

"But forgive me for blathering on like this. I do not mean to preach."

"I'm going back to the 住宅区. I promised 艾达 I'd meet her there."

(END)

Lecture – "Tell 希梅莉 to honor the terms of her BLADE contract and take the money."

"Ah. So you're concerned that if we BLADEs do not accept rewards for our work, our 委托对象 will expect such assistance for free?"

"Is that the gist of your problem?"

"Interesting. I've never heard of anyone being reluctant to pay a reward for a BLADE mission. Have you?"

"I believe that everyone in New LA is a 出色的人."

"They understand how hard it is to work as a BLADE."

"And that's why they offer to pay reasonable compensation for the work that we do."

"But I don't mean to dismiss your concerns. They're not entirely baseless."

"It is certainly not my intention to devalue the work that 其它 BLADE members do."

"If I ever felt that the people of New LA were at risk of somehow losing respect for the BLADEs they employ, I would have to draw the line."

"But I prefer to believe that we live in a just world where that sort of thing wouldn't happen."

(END)

Trivia

希梅莉's quote dates back to a 17th century saying that was repopularized in the 20th century; contrary to what 希梅莉 says, some versions of the quote mention stench. www.barrypopik.com
