Hello, and welcome to my AI-generated Ririka story! You may be wondering what this is, so I'll explain: one time, I wrote part of a Ririka story on my own, but I never finished it. Then, a few days ago, I discovered a site called AI Dungeon, which was designed as an AI text adventure game, but can be used to make stories too. For example, SnapCube uses it to make Sonic Destruction. Anyway, I plugged in what I had written, and then the AI generated a continuation of the story! It doesn't really make sense, but here it is anyway! Everything under the line is what the AI came up with.
"...And so Kanon said that Helena's fever had risen by another degree, and it hasn't gone down even the slightest in days. She can't get out of bed without help. She hasn't been eating much either…"
Mimina trailed off, looking despondent. The blue-haired girl was standing in the center of Ririka's room, while Ririka, Seiya, and Dewey sat on the floor in front of her, listening to her relay the news from her latest telepathic conversation with Kanou, who remained on Queen Earth.
Ririka let out a sigh. It had been days since the last attack of the Black Vaccine, but even so, Helena's condition continued to worsen. There was no doubt that she would die in a matter of months if the Flower of Life was not found. Every day the news got grimmer: on TV, Ririka saw reports of strange occurrences chalked up to natural disasters, and rising cases of a painful disease of unknown origins. Of course, Ririka knew that the Black Vaccine was to blame for everything. If only they could find the Flower of Life...
"Anyway, any leads on the Flower of Life?" Mimina asked, as though she'd read Ririka's mind.
Seiya shook his head. "We've been looking at all the books about flowers we can find, but we can't find the Flower of Life anywhere in them."
"My father said he'd heard about it in historical records, though…" Ririka said. "You don't think it's gone extinct, do you? I mean, a lot of things have been going extinct since the world industrialized. There's so much pollution, even without the Black Vaccine, and nature is being destroyed…"
"No, it can't be extinct!" Mimina snapped. "The Flower of Life exists wherever there is life. It doesn't need a special habitat or anything. As long as there's life, it grows. Haven't I told you that a million times, Ririka?"
"But I was just thinking -"
"Don't even think about it!" Mimina hissed, interrupting Ririka. "If the Flower of Life is extinct, then that means...then that means…" Mimina trailed off, unable to finish the sentence. Ririka couldn't help but pity her. Her planet was in ruins, her sister was dying, and her new friends would be next if the Flower of Life couldn't be found.
"Then that means we're screwed," Dewey finished. "Without the Green Vaccine, Ririka won't be able to purify monsters. We're already running out of Green Vaccine as it is, and the monsters will come more frequently as the Black Vaccine begins to cover Earth. If things continue like this, we won't live to see Earth die."
Ririka shuddered, picturing Earth turned completely uninhabitable. Her friends and family...Herb and the other animals...even the beautiful forests of Earth would all die without the Green Vaccine.
"I think I found something," Ririka said. "In one of the books, I found a drawing of the Flower of Life."
The others gathered around as Ririka held the book. It was a beautiful picture, colorful and full of vitality. And just like that, it was gone.
No! it must have been a trick of the light!
"What happened?" Mimina cried. "Where did the picture go?"
"It's OK," Ririka said. "The picture's still there, I'm sure." She pointed at another book lying on the floor. "It's right there."
"Ririka, what are you talking about?"
"The other book! That one!"
Mimina rushed over to the book, kneeling down. Ririka moved away from them. There was no reason for her to get in their way, right? After all, she was the nurse.
"I can't find anything," Mimina said, putting away the book.
"It's there!" Ririka insisted.
"No, it's not."
"Yes it is," Dewey said, standing up. "It's just hard to see it since the lights are so bright."
Ririka sighed. "I guess I'm just not that sharp."
"No, you're not. Now let's go check out the graveyard."
The graveyard.
The black gates opened, squeaking loudly. The foursome stepped inside.
"So there's a secret passage?" Dewey asked, walking inside.
"Of course there is," Ririka explained. "Everyone knows about it. It's the only way in or out of the graveyard. It was built many, many years ago. The old graves are marked with a white marble headstone, and those are the only places you can go. The passage has only one use, and that is for emergencies. It leads to the great beyond."
"I'm not going to hell," Dewey said, shocked.
"Of course not."
"I have to go to the bathroom, do you mind?" Dewey asked, pretending to have just now noticed the large empty chamber before him.
"Of course I don't mind, go ahead."
Dewey walked into the large empty chamber.
"This place gives me the creeps," Keto said, stepping inside.
"Yeah, I feel it, too," Buros said.
"I know what that means," Keto said.
"What?" Buros asked.
"It means I'm in love," Keto said.
Buros frowned. "I thought you just said you were scared."
"I am."
"Does Meg-Mirai mean nothing to you?" Buros asked.
"Nothing at all."
"Do you wish to continue this struggle without her?"
"I'm not joining you," Keto said. "I'm going to go back to the universe I came from. I'm going to go back to the way things were."
"You must have loved her very much, to give her such a grave attention," Buros said. "If she didn't mean anything to you, why spend so much time with her?"
"I told you before. I can't explain what I've been doing. It just seemed right. She was there for me when I needed her and she was always by my side."
"But it was only an illusion," Buros said. "She was not real. You know this, don't you?"
"I know it."
"Then why did you love her so much? Why did you not want to wake up from the dream?"
Keto stared at Buros, wondering what he meant by this. He stepped toward Buros, raising his sword. Buros stared at him, his sword pointing straight at his heart.
"I will kill you if you do not answer my question," Buros said.
"Fine," Keto said. "I loved Meg-Mirai because she was everything that I was not. She was beautiful, she was strong, she was intelligent. I could not be what she was, so I loved her."
"Why?"
Keto frowned, not knowing the answer.
"I have no idea," he said.
"But you could not love another woman like Meg-Mirai. Is my speculation correct?"
"No."
"Then why?"
Keto lowered his head. "I don't know."
"Think hard."
"I can't."
"You can."
"No."
"Tell me."
"I CAN'T!"
"Tell me."
"NO!"
"Tell me!"
"All right, all right, I'll tell you."
"Thank you."
Ririka sighed and sat next to Keto. She put her arm around him and he put his arm around her.
"Why?" he asked.
"Because she was so strong willed. I couldn't be what she was, so I loved her," Ririka replied.
"Yes," Keto said, nodding. "That is why."
"Why does anyone love someone like me?" Ririka asked, frowning.
"You are strong willed," Keto said. "You are beautiful. You are a fairy."
"I am ten years old," Ririka said.
"You are a fairy."
"I am a fawn."
"You are a fawn."
"I am a dove."
"How do you know?"
"I am a bird."
"You are a bird."
"I am a butterfly."
"You are a butterfly."
"I am a leaf."
"You are a leaf."
"I am a sun."
"You are a sun."
"I am a flower."
"You are a flower."
"I am a bird."
"You are a bird."
"I am a leaf."
"You are a leaf."
"I am a sun."
Aaaaand I stopped the AI there. As you can see, it went a bit crazy at the end. And just who is Meg-Mirai? I have no idea.
That's all for now! Bye!
