For example, on April 17th, after Ryuji brings you to the Airsoft Shop, you will need to purchase weapons and armor. If you have Persona 5 save data, you'll receive 50,000 yen, otherwise, you'll start with 5,000 yen from Ryuji. It is suggested to prioritize better guns for Joker, Ryuji, Morgana, and Ann, as melee weapons for Ryuji can be found early in Kamoshida's Palace. Guns are useful for clearing early Palace floors without using SP.
On April 18th, you have free time. You can watch the movie Tanktop Millionaire to increase Guts, or solve the crossword puzzle with the answer "SEMESTERS". The author's actions for this day include visiting the Shujin Library to borrow "The Great Thief" to boost Knowledge before infiltrating the Palace.
On April 24th, you can view the Home Shopping Channel, offering items like the Spring Awake Set (1 Caffeine Patch, 10 Wide Eye Drops, 10 Hot and Sour Tea for 1680 yen) or the Share of Spring Set (5 Sakura Mochi, 1 Spring Fruit Pack, 1 Party in a Can for 5980 yen). You can also buy Aojiru in the Underground Walkway. The author bought the Share of Spring Set, bought Beauty Aojiru (+1 Charm, -5000 yen), and spent time with Takemi, making choices like "I have a bad heart" (+2), "I agree" (+2), and "I think I have superpowers" (+2) to reach Guts Level 2 (Bold). At night, watching Bubbly Hills, 90210 increased Charm to Level 2 (Head-turning).
On April 25th, on the train, you can read a book. The class answers are "You unquestioningly support it" and "You have a duty to correct it," which grant Charm and a relationship boost with Ann. The author read and completed "The Great Thief" (+3 Knowledge), answered correctly (+1 Charm, +2 Ann), returned "The Great Thief" to the Shujin Academy Library, borrowed "Pirate Legend," signed up for the Rafflesia part-time job, and worked at Triple Seven (+2 Charm, +3500 yen), unlocking the Punch That Clock! trophy. At night, the author spent time with Sojiro, making choices like "Medium-fine" (+2) and "Is it trouble?" (+2) to reach Hierophant Confidant Rank 3.
