「斗争」

「斗争」 is 古因's second 牵绊 in 异度神剑X. It occurs at late 夜间 by the construction barricades southwest of the 体育广场 in the 住宅区 of NLA between 古因 and Cross.

Dialogue

"This is so embarrassing, Cross. I'm 很抱歉 you had to see me like that."

"Remember when I told you about that assignment of setting up a 数据探针 in 忘却溪谷 with my Pathfinder buddy?"

Nod - "Say that you remember."

"Well, we managed to get the 数据探针 installed without too much trouble, which was good."

Shrug - "Admit that you forgot the details."

"Really? Oh. That's a bit…sad."

"Anyway, I asked for your advice because I was uneasy about how no one on the job had much experience, and 忘却溪谷 seemed pretty dangerous."

"Well, we managed to get the 数据探针 installed without too much trouble, which was good."

"But on the way back, we were attacked by a pack of 狼蜥. …Which is bad."

"And because I failed to 晴天 the area properly, one of my teammates ended up with a pretty nasty wound."

"So I've been training here, in secret, to make sure I never screw up like that again."

Scold - "Tell 古因 he's not training hard enough."

"Hey, that's not…"

"Oh, hell. You're right. You'd never find convenient cover like this outside the city."

"I need to be able to respond adequately in any situation, no matter how unfavorable the terrain."

"Maybe it's time to rethink my entire training regimen and figure out just what I'm trying to achieve here."

"All right, I'm heading back to the admin. district to figure out a new plan."

"But if you ever want my help with a mission, I'll drop what I'm doing in a heartbeat, all right?"

(END)

Encourage - "Try to convince 古因 that he's a good fighter." (+ ♥)

"Wow, really? 感谢, Cross. Coming from you, that means a lot."

"But I'm not just beating myself up for the heck of it. I screwed up, and my friend suffered for it."

"I know that I've got a long way to go before I'm anywhere near 伊莉娜's league—or yours for that matter."

"So I don't want you treating me with kid gloves."

"If I ever manage to become a decent Interceptor who's strong enough to protect BLADEs like you and 伊莉娜, then you can praise me."

"But not until then."
