COTE: 1 Year Older [ONGOING]

Special Chapter 1: Mikadou Mika

This is not the chapter I promised that would be long. This is just a special chapter that I would like ya'll to read.

It's a bit short but, I'm fleshing out Mika's backstory a bit more before I make an actual backstory specials. That would probably be a bit long I guess?

Anyway I hope you enjoy it.

Mika's PoV*

Many times, I asked why I was still born.. Was it just because my role in this world is to be abused?

I had given up many times, but still stood strong. Just for the ones who really cared for me.

The reason must be because of my late mother's last will and letters for her future daughter, which is me.

I can feel that it is full of love and affection. Maybe that's the reason I hadn't considered suicide. It just made me realize that if she died just to give birth to me. Then who am I to decide to end it?

I myself felt at least some intrusive thoughts. But I would never, ever consider suicide.

The first memory from childhood I actually remembered is terror.

Me being scolded by my stepmother for not being able to do simple things. She insulted me with such force that if words could kill. I would've died already.

It's not like I could ask for help as well.

I mean, who would help?

I'm not even welcome in this household anyway.

A normal person would be frustrated at them. But not me, I only felt nothing. I'm way past the point that I would care about their petty remarks and their actions were just like a child's pranks.

At least for me. I just got used to it and it made me feel like shit.

Like a blank state. In all of my life I was only suffering from being bullied by my family.

Maybe that was the reason I felt that all of it was normal. It was because I grew up with it.

But when I attended school, I realized it wasn't normal, that's also the time I realized I was different than the others. I was smarter. Much so different than my peers.

I was also much more mature. Thinking to myself that why did others my age would not question what they do in their everyday lives.

For me they were just all fools.

But still. I was quite a tough cookie to crack. I have quite an ability when it comes to academic skills.

This was one of the reasons why I gained my father's love. Which only felt empty because I felt that he was only trying to take advantage of my child self.

It made me time in order for me to relax. But that was a mistake.

It just made the family hate me more and their bullying became much more nastier than ever. I could take it. But there were limits to that.

It was hard to decide if I should still live at that time, thankfully there was still someone who was supporting me.

It was a maid assigned to my mother who stayed just because she adored me.

But of course my family didn't let them.

So as they fired my maid who was the only one who cared for me, I felt lonely being alone all this time.

I remembered that after my maid was fired. I found some new things that could entertain me from the pain.

I took in a cat that would at least ease my loneliness. But although our time was short lived. I thoroughly enjoyed our time together.

One day. The cat I was taking care of just disappeared. I didn't think about how it just vanished. I already knew the answer to my question.

It's they either threw it out of the house. But that would be wishful thinking. It was way to humane for them.

I just tried to forget it just not to hurt myself more.

It was hard, yes. But I stood on.

What really kept me going was the messages my mom sent me, whenever I had my birthdays, it was sent via future mail.

The type where you wait for the future just to read the messages.

If I remember correctly it would end after I age 18. So my mother has only written 18 letters. I only have 2 more letters to go for.

Really, I was thankful for having a kind and loving late mom.

She might not have been with me since she died during childbirth but I was thankful that she was thoughtful enough to remind me of her presence.

She had a weak constitution so she might have a feeling she wouldn't survive the labor.

So if people asked if they can hurt me. Over me being bullied or being shunned. They can also hurt me physically or insult me in front of my face.

But I would just smile at them.

Because I already experienced such atrocities.

More like. I would challenge you to try. I would like you to make me feel hurt. Because it's been a while since I've felt it.

Everything these days seems so dull to me.

"So if you're asking if I'm afraid of you Nagumo-kun." I just stared at him. "Then you're dead wrong."

I might look like the type that wouldn't fight back.

But you're dead wrong.

Nagumo-kun stared at me a bit. Surprised that I said that to him after everything he did to me.

"I'm more afraid of Ayano-san's flicks on my forehead and Momo's emotionless stare." I said.

Go die in a fire tornado. I thought to myself.

If you're threatening me to give up my class that has Ayano-san in it.

I might throw these hands your way. It might not hit right now. But just you wait in the future. My family is rich and just one order after I proved my worth by being obedient to my father.

Then it might just hit...

But for now. You win. You might win in our battle with you as my enemy.

But wait for the actual battle where you face the coolest guy I know.

I smiled at Nagumo-kun. Imagining how he would despair on how Ayano-san's skills is so unfair to the point it does not feel human anymore.

I await the moment of your fall.

Because after he gets the news of how you messed with him.

You'll be sure to build up a massive fortress to protect yourselves against disasters.

But remember. Humans cannot win against natural disasters.

Once nature takes it's course. It would be cruel. And whatever you built from scratch. Would end up destroyed in the blink of an eye.

Even if you built a castle. It would eventually fall down in face of a fire tornado.

My fire tornado.

~∆~∆~∆~

Heyyyyyaaaa~

After seeing how ya'll still clueless about Mika's past. I just dropped this here and hope you at least feel satisfied about it.

I still have about 2-3 chapters about her backstory. But that would wait for quite a while lol.

I'm focusing on the actual chapter and story itself lol. It might take about 2-3 business days at the minimum or something.

Oh yeah. If you're confused, this conversation would happen in quite a long time into the actual story.

Anyway hope you enjoyed~
