Persona 3 Portable Saori Hasegawa Hermit Social Link Guide

You can find her either in front of the library or the Nurse's Office in Gekkoukan. She is available during the day on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Unlike Persona 4 and 5, the Protagonist does not get additional skills during battle. If you do max his Social Link, however, you will receive the PA Recording, which allows the fusion of Arahabaki.
