The rest of the short story is about how the group fights to convince this man to not commit suicide, but to turn himself in. One of the group members kills someone in real life. The story is about a group of friends who are writing a science fiction story over the internet. The space after each story is referred to as intermission and is a time for Ibis to comment on the story she just told. While originally skeptical he agrees after Ibis makes it clear that the stories are not taboo. While he is recovering Ibis offers to tell him stories. During the battle the storyteller becomes injured and Ibis takes him to an android hospital to care for him. Ibis tells the storyteller that she is far more proficient in battle. He attacks the robot Ibis, not aware of who she is, as a result of his mindset. He has the mindset that all robots are a threat to humanity and must be fought against for survival. The Stories of Ibis begins with a wandering storyteller who encounters Ibis. He represented this influence in the novel by giving Ibis a facial tattoo. Yamamoto drew from Bradbury's idea of short stories that were loosely connected. This is similar to The Illustrated Man by Ray Bradbury. The two that Yamamoto wrote for the novel were 'The Day Shion Came' and 'AI's Story'.
All but two had been previously published. The Stories of Ibis is told through a collection of short stories. The light novel was published in Japanese by Kadokawa Shoten and in English by Viz Media under their 'Haikasoru' imprint. Yamamoto considered this to be an easier read than his earlier science fiction novel 'God Never Keeps Silent' because of its "light novel touch". The Stories of Ibis ( アイの物語, Ai no Monogatari ) is a Japanese science-fiction light novel by Hiroshi Yamamoto ( 山本 弘) and translated by Takami Nieda.
