Editing Maria Sama Ga Miteru:Volume12 Chapter3 (section)

===Part 7===

That evening, Sachiko-sama started on her English-Japanese translation homework at the atrium table, so Yumi decided to write postcards alongside her. 

Addressed to Yoshino-san and Shimako-san:

 Midsummer greetings,
 I am currently visiting Sachiko-sama's summerhouse. 
 It is cool and very quiet here.
 It's a shame that I can't send this delicious air together with the postcard.
                                                               -Yumi

In the blank space of the postcard, Yumi affixed the pressed leaf of a weed that she didn't even know the name of, picked from beside the terrace during the daytime. 

If she can write them up by mid-evening, she'll say to Gensuke-san: ''tomorrow morning, while on your way to buy bread, please mail these for me.''

<!-- page 122 -->
"With only half of a day of pressing, won't the pressed leaves come off?"

Sachiko-sama said while presenting glue. She's saying, that as time passes, it'll become an ordinary wilted weed.

"Though, it would be good if it holds up until delivered to them..."

Yumi affixed the postage. Although Yumi didn't bring her homework with her, she did diligently bring postcards and stamps. As with prior trips, she'll send out postcards. That is her travel routine.

"Yeah."

Sachiko-sama took the postcards and wrote the summer home's address in the sender line for her. As was often the case, Yumi was thinking that the style of saying "At: ___" was good, but Sachiko-sama said that this way of inserting the address by both of them more readily conveyed the image of this place.

Yumi wondered, ''was there a need to expressly inform that this is a weed native to such-and-such place?'' Though at that time, the straightforward Yumi did think about it. 

If she tried to think back on it later, that was probably Sachiko-sama's way of being considerate.

If the receiver did overlook it, up until that place on Yumi's postcards where the house number was written, it really was an itty-bitty autograph.

―probably.
