All language subtitles for Otona Joshi Ep 10

"A Woman Who Can't Be Happy"

She had a miserable life, living with a
rock musician guy who was younger...

She had long hair that reached
the middle of her back.

She was 40 years old and single.

What is this about?

It's about me, isn't it?

Please answer me.

Did you get close to
me to write this book?

You are right.

From the beginning.

You are the worst.

Nakahara-san.

What's the matter?

Excuse me.

I'm sorry.

What happened?

Well... Nothing happened.

Excuse me.

Timing and Subtitles brought to
you by The Lady Girls Team @ Viki

Chikuwa, good morning.

Did something happen?

No, no. I have to
switch my mind.

- Did anyone receive a bug repair report
from System Department? - Oh, sorry.

Did you print out the press release
materials for the meeting already?

- I will prepare them now.
- Please hurry.

I think it is good. Your point of view on utilizing this feature is nice.
Go ahead and start making it including the synopsis.

Got it.

Great. I pulled an
all-nighter, but it paid off.

You stayed up all night?
You didn't have to rush.

Well, I had to do it in a rush.

Because I wanted to bounce back (from
a broken heart) as soon as possible.

As if! I put my all into the plan just because
I want it to be approved no matter what.

Lately, I really enjoy working.

I see. You are so dependable.

Yes.

Okay.

Did something happen?

Nope. Nothing happened.

If anything, you can talk to me.

I want to be a man who you
can consult, at least.

- Thank you. - Okay.

"A Woman Who Can't Be Happy"

She is forty years
old and single.

What are you pondering over
the same page for so long?

Was that something
so upsetting to her?

It sure was based
on common sense.

I don't know what your
common sense is though.

Well, so why don't you give up on the
work and start writing something new?

No, that won't do. I won't be able to
move forward unless I finish this work.

It that's the case, you just
have to apologize to her.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

The new app is getting
good reviews.

It's thanks to you.
Thank you very much.

I'm counting on you to make a new plan.
I want to release the next one ASAP.

- I'm working on it. - I see.

So, you will ask Takayama sensei
to be the supervisor again, right?

Of course... right?

Yeah... we will, right?

Well then, I'll leave it to you.
Let me use the meeting room.

Yes.

I got it.

Nakahara-san. Takayama-san
is in the lobby.

Eh? Why doesn't he come up?
He always comes here.

I wonder why...

I'm going down a bit.

What is it you want?

Regarding yesterday...

Well... you know...

What do you want to say?

I want you to allow me...

Eh?

To write a novel (about you).

- That's all?
- What do you mean?

Don't you have something
else to say to me?

So, I am saying I want you to
allow me to write the novel.

So, you think nothing
else but the novel?

Of course. I can't move forward
without writing that novel--

You want me to be a
stepping stone for you?

That's not what I'm saying.

- Enough. - I...

Enough already.

So, for you,

it's impossible to understand
other people's feelings.

Excuse me.

I would have forgiven him
if he had apologized.

Lady Girls ~Final Episode~

Woman of Destiny

I became forty years old...
I held her gently...

This is good. It's
really interesting.

Thanks.

I will make an arrangement
to publish it next month.

- Thank you very much. - Okay.

Nakahara-san. Did you
hear about Takayama-san?

Eh? What is it?

He is gonig to make a
debut as a novelist.

Is that so?

Takayama Fumio-shi, a former script writer, will have
a fresh start as a novelist with a romance novel?

- Did you see this? - Hmm?

Ah, I did. "The novel realistically describes
the state of mind of a regular woman."

Wow, that's great. I'm
looking forward to it.

Yeah, right?

OK, I got everything.

Oh!

Eh?

Hello?

Good evening. Where are you now?

Well, I am heading home now.

Oh, that's good.

I actually by your work now. Would you like to
go eat some Yakitori (grilled skewed chicken)?

- Well, uh..um... Yakitori?
- I will be right there.

Well, no, um...

I hope I wasn't too pushy.

No, it is okay.

I was worried because you
were crying the last time.

Ah, yes.

Did something happen?

No.

If you don't want to
tell me, that is fine.

I am hoping to have a good
time today as friends.

As friends?

Yes.

When you are feeling down,
you should eat meat.

So let's eat meat today.
Lots of them.

Hot!

Okay. I will start
digging in now.

Yes.

Delicious!

I see. You moved out?

Yes, I made a big decision.

- But is that okay? - What?

Are you going to tell me to treat
my parents better or something?

Oh, no. That is not what I meant. I was
wondering if that was a good decision.

Why do I need to tell you about
me and my mother, to begin with?

You are not my boyfriend anyway.

Come on.

Who knows. That might happen.

No way.

Alright.

You are interrupting my work.
Can you leave now?

Then can I have a rose?

Yes. How many would you like?

- One. - What?

How much is it?

If it is only one, I will give it to you.
Here you go.

Thanks.

- Bye now. - Bye.

I think there is a better solution
about you and your mother.

I will see you around.

Timing and Subtitles brought to
you by The Lady Girls Team@Viki.

Thank you very much.

Excuse me.

I am sorry.

Okay, who should be the next? (They
are reading their essays out loud.)

Sakata. Go ahead and read yours.

Eh?

I will pass.

You can't pass.

Eh?

" What's on my mind
recently." Sakata Ryo.

My mother has
raised three of us.

It must have been hard for her.

I wonder how much we
knew about her hardship.

We have taken it for granted
that she took care of us.

My brothers told me that we shouldn't be
like that, and I totally agree with them.

One day, my brother,
Subaru, suggested to

go see her at her work.

Today's special is Chinese
Bowl and Omurice.

Seeing her at work, I thought
she looked beautiful.

For her to stay beautiful,

we will do our best not to worry
her and help her around the house.

And I want her to stay
beautiful as a mother forever.

AND!

Well, I want her to
find a nice man.

What? Is he crying? No way.

I was moved.

It is okay to cry
when you are moved.

Seriously?

I am home!

You are back!

Wow, it's a feast!
Celebrating something today?

Can't I make a feast if there
is nothing to celebrate?

- It is not like that.
- You need to wait!

Yum!

How could you say "pass"?

I was being shy.

Ryo. Thank you.

So hungry!... Oh?
It smells good.

Wow, looks delicious!

What is it?

- Why?
- You came out because you smelled it, huh?

You guys need to help!

Wow, something must
have happened, huh?

- Can you tell? - What is it?

Hurry up and go wash your hands.

Thank you for the food!

So good! AH!

Seaweed got stuck.

That's gross.

Ah!

- What about you, Ryo?
- Me? No, I don' t have it.

You have to go with the
flow and put it on.

What about you, mom?

What?

Moeko-san.

What is it? I am working now.

- What's going on here?
- What do you mean?

Why can't I talk to your mother?

Tiramisu here is so good.

I was tricked, too.

I came because he said he wanted to talk to me about something.
I'm surprised to see you here...

I am sorry.

Have a seat.

- You look well. - Yes.

- What about you? Living alone
is inconvenient, isn't it? - No.

I am doing very well.

I see. That is great.

We had a great talk

remembering about
your childhood.

About what?

In elementary, you had a fight
with a boy and made him cry.

That is a past I want to hide!

- It seems like you were a fun child.
- I guess so.

There are more stories.

What should I tell next?

You don't like it?

Living separate and...

meeting like this
isn't bad at all.

I guess so.

Can I see you sometimes?

Of course.

I am glad.

Thanks.

Oh no. I didn't do anything.

Moeko. Tashiro-san is
such a nice person.

I think you will
do great with him.

That is something that I
should decide my own.

If I think he is a nice
man, I will let you know.

Okay.

He said this was good.

Really?

Thanks.

Mom, can you order me a coffee?

Excuse me.

One coffee, please.

- You like it? - Good!

- I really can't believe. Takayama!
- Who knew it was going to be like this.

Calling himself a writer after
what he has done to you?

It really makes me mad! Should
we all go there and talk to him?

Stop it. Calm down. I
will give you chikuwa.

You haven't seen him
since then, Aki?

Something like that.

Thanks for waiting. But you
guys are doing so well.

I got over it. And putting some distance
with my mother seems to work out.

- I see. -What about
that rental boy friend?

That... is ok for now.

What do you mean now?

For now, I want to try
living on my own.

If the timing works out with him, it might...
right, Chikuwa?

Hey, don't be rough.

I know.

As for Sawada Sensei, we'll just be a
teacher and a student's mother. That's it.

I'm envious that you two know
what direction you are going.

Aki, your luck with man is...
you know...

Be quiet.

So you are okay with it?

- I guess.
- Of course it's good.

I'm asking Aki.

You know, I don't
know very well but

writers write about their
lovers and wives, don't they?

But that doesn't mean he
can write about anything.

Aki isn't his girl
friend, you know?

I know.

I think you guys should
just reset everything.

I know.

Let's drink.

We are drinking.
-Should we drink Sake?

- Should we? - Should we?

Chikuwa, you don't seem
to have any problem.

You must be easy going.

It's a cat's job
to be easy going.

I am so full (from eating).

Hello?

This is Ikeda.

Sorry for calling late.

Did something happen?

Well...

Can I see you now?

Now?

They've asked me to head the
Electronic Books Department at work.

Oh really?

That's great. Congratulations.
It's a promotion.

Thank you.

I've been working with paper up until now, so I
wonder if I can do it. But, I'll do my best.

I'm sure you will do great.

When I found this out, you were
the first person I thought of.

I thought you would
be happy for me.

I thought you were
a strong woman.

But, when I saw you crying
the other day, I thought

why did I break up
with you like that?

I didn't really know you.

I thought

I want to protect this person.
To be by her side.

Can you...

Give me another chance?

I am sorry.

I... don't think I
can go out with you.

Why is that?

I think... how do I say this?
We should be friends.

I am so sorry.

No.

I'm the one who should
be apologizing.

Sorry for saying
something weird.

So, you're publishing a novel?

What is it?

It's done.

You are telling me to read it?

If I don't have your permission,
I won't publish the book.

You can read it or throw it away.
It's up to you.

So you are going to press
responsibility on to me like that.

- It's not like that. -I
don't want to read it.

Oh no.

I'll stop writing.

I didn't mean to hurt you.

I didn't write this
irresponsibly.

I thought you were interesting.

You were always making mistakes.

But, you kept going. I got
worried just seeing you.

But when I was watching
you, it gave me energy.

I thought that cheerfulness
would allow me to write better.

So, you were seeing
me for your novel.

No.

They are both important.
To write a novel...

and you.

I can't write like that
about someone I don't like.

To think about a person
I don't like everyday..

And to put that
person into words.

I'm not that clever.

♫ Can my lights reach you ♫

♫ Pick me up and rescue ♫

♫ I just cannot stop crying ♫

♫ It's time to let you go ♫

♫ I pray for your happiness ♫

♫ It's time to go ♫

♫ It's time to go ♫

They are both important.

To write a novel... and you.

I can't write like that
about someone I don't like.

I'm not clever enough to
do something like that.

♫ It's time to let you go ♫

♫ It's time to go ♫

Welcome.

I read it.

This novel... please publish it.

Make it your best work

and then send it out.

But, after you listen
to my opinion.

I will apologize for writing without telling you.
But I won't accept anything I don't agree with.

I can't accept it...

Then, let's discuss it
until you can accept it.

Well... this is
unforeseen development...

I didn't think about
it like that.

I was thinking... there are many things
that are wrong with a man and a woman.

Yeah... there are.

But, if we keep criticizing
that, nothing can get done.

I thought it's important for us
to point out the bad things.

You're right.

I need to... and you too.

We are alike.

There's nothing we can do.

This is an important
work, right?

Yeah.

Ok, then let's start.

Let's start. Sit down.

Well...

- Master, pen! -Ok.

This is so sudden.

Sit down. This is what
life is all about.

First, the title. It's no good.
[Woman Who Can't Be Happy]

What's wrong with it?

- This is hopeless. No one will read it.
-You think so?

It's not "woman who can't be happy",
but "woman who wants to be happy."

- Oh, I see. -There's
hope in this one.

This! It's going to make me remember him.
This is about Shinji, right?

You understand, right?

The band guy poured cold words
to the woman and broke it off.

Facing his cruel words which seemed to dissolved all the
time they spent together, she could not respond back.

What's wrong with that?

"She could not respond back"?

Yeah.

It's not that "she could not respond
back" but "she did not respond back."

What? Why didn't
she respond back?

Because, a mature woman

doesn't lose it in
front of people.

Oh... a woman's pride.

When I think about it now,
I should have punched him.

I remember this one too.

You remember?

You're laughing too much.

Here you go.

Oh, that's right. This one.

Trying to get back together, he pulled the woman's arm
forcefully, the man made a huge noise and stood up

and acted as to provoke that band guy, and
pulled him out side of the restaurant.

And then... This one...

This.

- Is this true? -What is it?

- Where, where? -This.

"Love it not like a coat where you
can put on and take off many times."

Ha?

- It's a line from a movie called Champion.
-It's about a movie again?

She is getting over the horrible heart break
and trying to face forward as a mature woman.

Shouldn't you also move
forward as a mature man?

Doesn't it sound a bit too cool?

If you don't want to believe
it, you don't have to.

You sound stubborn again.

Me being stubborn
can't be fixed.

I guess that's true.

Oh, and this. This.

This.

Creating stories, they
both got really into it.

Soon, the man grabbed her shoulders,
and she looked at herself in his eyes.

She was shaken about getting
excited by the look in his eyes.

What were you thinking
at that time.

Well, it's not like I was thinking.
That was...

just a flow.

- A flow? -Yeah.

A flow, huh?

So that time was also a "flow"?

What are you doing?

That was... a man's pride.

What?

What do you mean... a pride?

You provoked me.

What are you saying?

Wait. What about right here?

It says "she was filled with
passion." I didn't feel any passion.

I see.

And, "forcing a kiss..."

You think a woman would
be happy with that?

Doesn't a woman like a man
to be little bit forceful?

But you don't even
understand woman's feelings.

I'm surprised you can
be a scenario writer.

You just made an
excuse, didn't you?

No I didn't.

- Yes you did. -No I didn't.
Here's the next one.

I thought we are going to talk
about it until we both agreed.

There are so many. Like
"it feels malicious"...

You wrote this thinking
I wouldn't read this...

What's this malicious statement, "calling all
girls get together at a drop of a hat..."

It just felt that way.

To have friends that I can talk to about
anything at this age is very precious.

That has nothing to do with
the protagonist's feelings.

That's author's problem.
I can't give in.

What is this? Acting
like a little kid.

Because I can't give in.

Are you a little kid?

I'm not giving in on this one.

Ouch.

- I'm not sleeping. -What?

I'm not sleeping.

Why didn't they realize

how delicate and easily
hurt she can be?

Ok, how's this?

Timing and Subtitles brought to you
by, br>The Lady Girls Team@Viki.

Right now, those concerns
are not necessary though.

At that moment, she smiled like
a child and hugged her cat.

Her eyes twinkled more and
her skin turned light pink.

When he saw her like that, putting
aside his legitimate feelings,

he thought she was beautiful.

What is this?

[As she slept, there was a trace
of tear running down her cheek.]

I was waiting for you.

- Thank you for waiting.
- Should we go?

You did rushed over at
that time, didn't you?

When both romance and job
weren't going so well

Takayama-san rushed
over to see me.

I didn't rush over.

We promised to talk honestly.

That's right.

Ok, I will admit.

There was a lot going
on so I had no choice.

Had no choice?

I was worried about you.

You are being honest.

Maybe about that time, I thought writing
a novel about you would be interesting.

- That was good! -So good.

Excuse me.

Here you go.

Thank you.

- Here. - Thank you.

- Let's eat. -Let's eat.

That is so good.

This is great.

Hey.

She was filled with
natural beauty.

I really like this part.

[Her white skin turned light pink color,
and she was filled with natural beauty.]

That is great.

No good. Let's fix it.

Wh, what?

- No you can't.
- It sounds gross when I hear it.

It isn't gross.

"Light pink color" sounds gross.

"Light pink color"...
that's the good part.

When I hear it, it sounds gross.

Don't know what will
happen from here.

People may say that
is irresponsible.

But it's weird to be misled
by normalcy at this point.

But, no one can say
this isn't fate.

Right now, she doesn't have to
pretend, but be her natural self.

For her, that alone
makes her happy.

Feeling more, although there is no
confirmation that there's no betrayal,

it felt like she found an
answer that she's been seeking.

[The End]

[The End]

It's done.

No way.

Congratulations.

[Woman That Wants to be Happy.]

It's done.

[Reserved]

What should I do next?

Can you distribute this?

This looks so good. I
want to eat them now.

- Thank you. - I'm hungry.

- Hello. -Oh.

Am I early?

Yeah, you are.

Oh, by the way.

- Congratulations for publishing it.
- Why are you telling me?

- Isn't it about you?
- Well, it is fiction, you know.

Should we just say that?

Let's just call it that.

Be happy.

What?

Since I've known you for a while...
I feel like a parent.

Thank you.

Can I help with something?

[Congratulations to Takayama
Fumiyo-san for Publishing]

- Cheers. - Cheers.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

This tastes so good.
Please have one.

How about it?

Congratulations.

Thank you for everything.

People are saying that heroine's
character is interesting.

And woman's feelings are
described so realistically.

Is that so?

I guess you've taken a
first step as a novelist.

It's from the editor. Excuse me.

Hello?

I am grateful to you.

What are you saying?
It's all your skills.

Make sure you help us out
with our application.

I got it.

Good.

What is that?

This is called Ogura
Toast in Japanese.

Oh, and how does it taste?

Well... sweet.

He's gotten reliable.

Moeko-san. Hi.

Why are you here?

What do you mean?
You invited me.

Oh, is that right?

I thought you're off
guys for awhile.

This person? It's not like that.

It might end up like
that soon though.

- What are you saying.
- I really don't care either way.

People change little by little.

That is right.

Tachibana-kun, why don't you come by my house?
I'll make you something good.

No, that's okay.

President, let's stop there.

You probably shouldn't
invite employees anymore.

I'm not... yet...

President has gotten so many
comments on the internet.

He's so tough, isn't he?

- Do you want to come over? -I think he is trying to change too.
He decided to see only one person at a time.

Really? He's come a long way.

- Oh? Were you talking about me?
-No.

It's nice to see
just one person.

You just realized that?

No fear of double booking. No
confusion at to who to contact.

That's right.

Oh, about the new project... Let
me hear about it at work tomorrow.

Okay.

- Takayama sensei, I'm counting on you.
-Thank you.

- Are you going to seduce her?
-No, it's just a communication.

What are you saying?
So suspicious.

Everyone, let's hear
from Takayama sensei.

Timing and Subtitles brought to
you by The Lady Girls Team@Viki.

Why did you get out
all of sudden?

I'm not good at
gatherings like that.

It was a party for
you, you know.

How are we going to
change from here?

Or, maybe we don't
change at all.

Doesn't that sound bit boring?

It's difficult to have events all the
time that is worthy of writing a novel.

But that will make it easy for you to
come up with things to write about.

For me, having you by my
side itself is an event.

I won't have any difficulty
coming up with things to write.

What do you mean by that?

I don't think I will change.

No matter how old I get,
I want to stay pretty.

I want to like myself.

And, I want you to

like me for a long time.

He's embarrassed. You are
embarrassed, aren't you?

- I am not embarrassed.
- You were.

You were.
