#she does throw some hints at kuroba too which goes... better?? she gets an good reaction out of them at least

[flowerakatsuka]

i really like the idea of kuroba and matsuyo becoming friends independently of karamatsu, ( kinda, she ends up going to kuroba's flower shop after he gives her one of the rose bouquets he bought from them. he still isn't aware they're friends until later on. ) they're already pretty popular with older women since they're easy to talk to, complimentary, give really good advice when it comes to taking care of plants ( or life, in general, ) and has a nice face to top it all off. matsuyo would like them for similar reasons, along with being glad that there's at least one person who can stand being around her sons. she's a little confused why they became friends with karamatsu out of all of them, though. once she gets to see them interact and how kuroba reacts to kara's passing, the reason why becomes a little clearer to her.

i also feel like after how much they tried to help out after matsuzou's hospitalization and the sextuplets' funeral preparations, matsuyo becomes fucking determined to have kuroba as an in-law because of how reliable they seem to be. plus, this could be her best bet at getting one of her sons married off. her attempts at subtly letting karamatsu know she hopes they get together and get married don't really work, though.
