This is a song fic based on the Kagamines' "Nazotoki" (Riddle Solver Who Can't Solve Riddles) and "Nazokake" (Riddler Who Won't Solve Riddles). The song/lyrics are by Hinata Haruhana. I realize that he has the story that goes along with the song. I haven't read it. I probably won't, any time soon. I just wanted to come up with a story for myself from the song. This is Len's view from "Nazotoki". I based it off the long version, so it has the "third mystery" as well. I don't own vocaloid or the story or the song or the lyrics or anything. Read, review, favorite, and of course, enjoy!
There she was. We stood face to face. And here I am, about to permanently erase her from the world. Why?
Of course, I already know the answer.
I was the detective, after all.
We're all alone in a cafeteria of the cruise ship. There are circular tables, some upright, some not, scattered around the room. Some had bloodstained tablecloths while others were simply stripped to show the bare wooden structure. It's funny to think that just a few days ago, all the people were happily attending a party, all dressed in colorful dresses or tuxedoes, singing and dancing to the tune of the piano that now stood quietly in the corner. My shoes clicked against the checkered tile floor as I walked around.
"The first mystery is," I said with a smile, "why did he have to drink the poisoned wine in a room all by himself?" Without answering, she listens to me intently. I continue. "The reason is simple, really. He was destined to die at that moment!"
Who's the culprit? You know the answer, right?
That's because it all happened in front of your eyes.
Who's the culprit? Even if you don't answer,
I'll tell you how it all ends!
"Moving on to the second mystery. Why did they all fall overboard? Did the culprit fall off too?" I ask, raising my left hand for emphasis. It's not like I had a choice to raise my right hand.
She still doesn't answer. I keep talking nonetheless.
"There's one more thing you should know about the crazy plan. There was another detective who got pulled into this mess."
Who's the culprit? You know the answer.
Because now, everything's set in front of me.
Who's the culprit? All you have to do is stand there.
Let's start solving the riddles, just you and me!
"The third mystery," I said, eying her hand in her pocket. "When the sea breeze was caressing her hair, what was she thinking?" I narrow my eyes for a moment. "It's in the past. Doesn't matter…" I look at her. I was right. She speaks, but I can't hear her over my own voice. "It's all done. I know that you arrived here with that knife."
Who's the culprit? The detective, with ease,
Knocks it out of her hand, her last attempt.
Who's the culprit? He's right in front of you!
Call him out, the culprit! Say my name!
I really didn't want you to know, but now that you know…
You better run, while you have the chance…
So who's the culprit? There isn't necessarily just "one" answer.
Even if you want to make sure, it'll all disappear soon.
Who's the culprit? You have to hurry up,
These hands will kill you, there's not much time left.
Who's the culprit? You know the answer right?
That's because it all happened in front of your eyes.
Who's the culprit? He's right in front of you!
Call him out, the culprit! Say my name!
I hope you liked it! And yeah, I know, there are some parts that you might think is wrong. My translations aren't the best during the "lyric" parts, but that's what I got out of it, so please don't tell me that it's not right or whatever. Besides, it's my first song fic, so please, be nice.
