In Persona 3 Reload, the Social Links offer opportunities to meet various unique characters, adding depth to your playthrough. The Hierophant Social Link features the Old Couple, owners of the bookstore at Iwatodai Strip Mall. They are an optional Social Link that requires unlocking.
Interacting with the Old Couple at their bookstore throughout the week is necessary, although it can be challenging to find the time amidst your schedule. Saying the right things during these interactions is crucial to maximizing your relationship with them.
How to unlock the Old Couple Social Link
You can meet the Old Couple at the Iwatodai Strip Mall every day after school, except Monday. When you enter the Bookworms bookstore, they will introduce themselves and request a tree, specifically a Persimmon Tree, found at your school in Persona 3 Reload.
Locate the Persimmon Tree on the left side of the corridor between the first floor and the gym. After conversing with the old couple, interact with the tree and bring back a leaf to them. This interaction initiates your first encounter with them, unlocking their Social Link for the remainder of your Persona 3 Reload playthrough. These interactions are similar to other Social Links, such as Kenji and Chihiro.
