***Mikoto Nikki*** (みことにっき *Mikoto Nikki*) is a psychological thriller created by Charon, as well as their debut game. It was released on May 28th, 2013.

## Summary

This is a story of two students - Matarou and Mikoto. It begins with Matarou confessing his love to Mikoto, which she accepts. Soon Matarou comes over to his lover's home, where he starts to uncover Mikoto's past.

## Plot

Matarou, a young high school student, confesses his feelings to his crush, Mikoto; she then invites him over for dinner that night. While dinner is being made, Matarou looks around and finds pieces of Mikoto's diary. As he continues his strange quest, he realizes that Mikoto is not what she appears to be.

Following what he learned from the diary pieces, Matarou discovers three rotting corpses in Mikoto's closet, deducing that two of them are her parents while the third is Yukimaru, a boy who dated Mikoto in the past.

Mikoto then enters the closet and confesses that she locked her parents in there to "take care" of them. One day during their imprisonment, they called her a demon child, leading to Mikoto refusing to feed them for a week; this ultimately resulted in their deaths via starvation. Sometime after their deaths, she met Yukimaru who seemed to give her life new meaning. However, he discovered the bodies (similar to Matarou) and was locked in the closet. Mikoto then asks Matarou if he will run away like Yukimaru did.

Here the player is presented with three options which will determine the ending (excluding one).

## Endings

### Bad End 1: From Behind

If Matarou runs away from Mikoto, she will immediately catch up and apprehend him. What happens after this is unclear, but it is suggested that Mikoto either killed Matarou or brought him back to the house to be locked away in the closet.

### Bad End 2: What You Wished For

If Matarou stays with Mikoto, she happily states she will prepare food for him from now on; she then promptly closes the closet door and locks it, trapping Matarou inside. It is suggested that he shares the same fate as Mikoto's parents and Yukimaru.

### No Flashlight Ending

If Matarou enters the closet without obtaining the flashlight, Mikoto will enter and hit him on the back of the head, presumably locking him inside the closet.

### True End

If Matarou chooses to hug Mikoto, she is moved by his actions and starts apologizing for what she has done.

Months later, Mikoto and Matarou are still together. They are both shown playing in the snow, with Matarou noting fondly how Mikoto's behavior has improved ever since he accepted her.

## Trivia

* The game is loosely inspired by the anime *Mirai Nikki*, with Mikoto's backstory bearing resemblance to one of the main characters', Yuno Gasai. Both lock their parents in a cage and accidentally murder them.
* The sequel to this game, Full Bokko Youchien, is centered on Matarou and Mikoto's son.
* A younger Mikoto appears in Utsuro Nikki as Hatarou's cousin.
* Mikoto's ex-boyfriend Yukimaru is a recurring character in Charon's games. He also appears in Menherafflesia, Saikoro Saiko, Fake Worlds End, Vanilla: Garden of Judgement, Princess Cage, and Yona Yona.

## Diary Scrap 1

There was a test at school today.

Of course, I did as well on it as I do on aaaaall the others!

I'm a genius, so there's no problem I can't solve!

Hint: *"Come to the entrance"*

## Diary Scrap 2

Whether it was cooking, studying, or dressing nicely...

Mikoto just loooved them all, and enjoyed doing them whenever she got the chance!

But but but! My wallet... \*cry\*

Mikoto was always out of money. Since she didn't have an allowance, her only choice was to get a part-time job!

Mikoto has it pretty hard... I sure wish someone would come save me!

Eh? What I want...? What I want right now is... hmm, let's see...

Some clothes, a bag, a reference book, a notebook and some pens, a recipe book... there are just too many things I want!

Hint: *"Do you like black tea?"*

## Diary Scrap 3

Somehow, I got confessed to AGAIN!

It's hard being so popular!

But... hmm. I wonder if he's the type that just wants to go out without taking it seriously. Could he really be the right guy for me...?

Aaargh! I wanna have a real, meaningful relationship!

I... I can't go out with someone else unless I fall in love with them first!

I'm not gonna let myself get played by any weird guy that comes along! Hmph!

Hint: *"Staying over?"*

## Diary Scrap 4

I've been thinking, it sure would be nice if I could have a happy life...

Having a fantastic relationship, working a great job, spending my time with the happiest family in the world! And I'd play with my kids a ton!

Every day would be loads of fun!

And at the end of the day, I'd want to get in bed with my wonderful husband!

...of course I don't mean that in a weird way!

Hint: *"These are for guests to wear"*

## Diary Scrap 5

Oh man, oh man! I have some really great news today!

See, there's this guy I've kinda had my eye on. His name's Yukimaru.

And guess what? He told me he likes me! Mufufuu. I got confessed to!

So because of that, I'm in a totally good mood.

There are plenty of guys who say they like me...

But they're never the guys who I'd actually like to hear a confession from. It kinda bums me out.

I decided to give this little crush of mine a chance to bloom.

Though... I wonder if Yukimaru will be able to understand me.

Hint: *"A cold stare"*

## Diary Scrap 6

No one understands me.

Not Dad, not Mom, not my friends. Not one single person understands me.

Hint: *"Study"*

## Diary Scrap 7

You know, I’m trying my best. I really am.

But why...? Because I want to make Mom and Dad happy. ...That’s what I tell myself.

I... I don’t know why I try so hard.

It’s not like I’m particularly smart.

And yet I study, study, study. I’m forced to study, but there’s no real point to it.

Shut up shut up SHUT UP AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Hint: *"If you break it, you're paying for it"*

## Diary Scrap 8

You know...

I love to cook!

Omelettes with rice are my specialty. I can make any man mine with just one bite!

...As if!

But really! Everyone always tells me it tastes good! And that makes me want to make even more.

So... I think someday, I’d like to open up my own shop.

I don’t know when, but someday... I’m gonna become a suuuper awesome chef that everyone will be jealous of!

Hint: *"Evening coat"*

## Diary Scrap 9

My name is Takashiki Mikoto. I’m a third year high school student. An eternal 17-year-old!

My specialty is cooking. Naturally, I’m a member of a cooking club! I’m also in the tennis club, but I rarely ever go.

For some reason, people call me popular, but... am I really that charming?

I don’t really know about that kind of stuff, and trying to make myself more appealing is kind of a pain.

Ah, but I never skip classes! And I always study the way I’m supposed to! I’m always the one with the highest test scores.

When I end up at the top, Mom and Dad are really happy.

When I don’t...

Hint: *"Gonna throw it away?"*

## Diary Scrap 10

Hey hey hey!

Eeeeever since that oooone day, I feel like it’s gotten more fun around here.

I don’t know what Mom’s saying anymore.

I don’t understand what Dad’s saying, either.

So funny funny funny. I’m so funny.

During that moment, I thought, ‘It’s quiet now.’ Maybe they won’t do anything to me anymore?

It’s like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders! I feel like I can do aaaanything!

Hint: *"Come to the garden"*

## Diary Scrap 11

## Diary Scrap 12

Today, I invited Yukimaru over for a special treat. I whipped him up a batch of my best food. He said it was delicious! I was so happy.

Of course, I thought about making my special peach tea, but Yukimaru seemed... a bit different. So I made muscat tea instead.

He kept asking about what was in my closet, which made me angry.

I was scared of what would happen, but he wouldn’t let up! What a meanie!

I thought he would understand, though, so... I just left him alone.

Yukimaru is gone now.

## Date ?/?

My name is Takashiki Mikoto. ('Mikoto' here is written with different characters, and appears grey in game.)

I live with my mom and dad.

My dad’s a businessman. A really, really plain one at that.

He’s so incredibly average it’s scary. He plainly found a job, plainly fell in love, plainly got married...

...plainly cheats on his wife, plainly goes about his daily life. In other words, he’s just a normal, completely unextraordinary father.

My mom works, too. She’s not around too much. She makes more than my dad.

She won’t tell me what she does. I think she tries to stay out of the house as long as possible to avoid Dad’s drunken rampages.

I know how she feels. I really wish I could run away, too... but if I left, I doubt Dad would even be able to feed himself.

## Date ?/?

I’m keeping a diary. I think the true value of a diary comes out when someone else reads it.

Right now, you’re reading the thoughts that I’ve never shown to others.

I think I wrote this because I wanted someone to help me.

## Date ?/?

I’m currently keeping the two under surveillance. They seem to have changed quite a bit since last week.

They resisted at first, but now they’re actually afraid of me.

I cook their food. I don’t give them chopsticks. They eat with their hands. I tell them that’s just the way we do things around here.

## Date ?/?

I tried teaching them something. After all, teaching people helps me improve as well.

Neither of them took it seriously at all. They didn’t pay much attention to what I said. ‘You’re a demon child,’ they yelled at me.

So I punished them. I let them go a week without any food.

## Date ?/?

When I went to check up on them, Dad was dead. Mom was wasting away.

She no longer had the energy to cry, or even glare at me. When I called out to her, she didn’t respond.

## Date ?/?

I was trembling on my bed. I was scared and thinking that I might have gone past the point of no return.

I
