In Persona 3 Reload, the Hierophant Social Link is formed with the old couple that run the Bookworms bookshop at the Iwatodai Strip Mall: Bunkichi and Mitsuko.
The Social Link explores the legacy of their son, who was a teacher at Gekkoukan High School.
They are available every afternoon, except for Mondays.
How to unlock the Hierophant Social Link in Persona 3 Reload
The Hierophant Social Link first becomes accessible on 4/25.
You will need to visit the store first. While there, the couple will talk about a special leaf.
If you return to the school and interact with the tree in the Corridor area – found between the main building and the Sports Gym, you will acquire a Persimmon Leaf.
Take this leaf back to the old couple and you will start the Hierophant Social Link.
