Time for a good old fashion team up.

Believe in the me that believes in you bro lol
 
Hmmm, my first instinct is to throw the Shonen Protagonist into the deep end with a pet on the back and a "you can do it!" because logically, that would ensure he would succeed. On the other hand, it's his first bond... I guess we can help this time, and let him figure it out himself the other ones.

While I'm pretty sure our bro could do it himself, if our bro wants our help here he's got it.

Hey, we do have a 25 in a Supernatural Martial Art, and the backing skill, Resistance, is doing pretty well too.

That being said, hopefully it won't come to combat, and our Speech: Diplomacy 20 finally comes to play.

Man, we really lucked out with that encounter roll.
"Hey, bro. Where are you going?"
Missing comma.
As you enter, you notice a particular scent in the air. A strange but pleasant mixture of fur, flowers, and you think oranges. Your confusion grows until you enter the living room...and stop at the sight of a five fluffy tails waving behind a girl with fox ears.

"Do not jump to conclusions, brother," Yamato reads your intentions long before you've made a move, "This is an actual Kitsune. Her name is Yameko and she was the one chasing the Kumiho."
Oh man, she's cute. And good to learn that it wasn't the Organization that was chasing her.
Her eye calms down as her tail falls to reveal lips formed into a frown. She sighed before shaking her head, "Hiroko is my responsibility. I was trying to help her become human. But...we were separated and her baser urges began to take hold. I don't know if she's fed on anyone yet, but I need to stop her."
Also good to learn that Hiroko doesn't seem to be a bad person, we could be able to solve this peacefully. Even if we have to fight her first.
Yato is silent for a moment before he says, "I request permission to punish the Fox for insulting my honor as a warrior, my Lords."
Missing comma.
"Indeed, which is where the next part of my suggestion comes in," he doesn't hesitate as he says the next words, "Bond with me."

"What?" Yameko replies, her ears and tails all swiveling to focuses only on Yamato. Your bro doesn't back down, but you see him glance at you out of the corner of his eyes. A silent understanding passes between you, telling you that he's asking for your help convincing her.
Our bro wants to take his step into the world of supernatural.

This is our jam.
 
We should train our bro's empathy at next opportunity.
Sounds wise to me. After all, he's got deductions to the skill, and we've got bonuses, so he'd be able to train the skill at the normal rate if we worked with him.

As a bonus, such an action would also count as an Empathy training action for ourselves. Just like when our bro trained us in Mathematics.

I really don't know if we should interfere with what is his first bond, but we haven't taught him stuff. Tentatively, going with this unless someone makes a convincing argument otherwise.

Lewd. Thank goodness there is no suspicious couch.

Oh my...bro wants to bond with her before even inviting her to dinner? Talk about being impatient. We will help anyway.
 
Hmm since the Kumiho is her responsibility and she'll possibly bond with our brother, maybe we can use our 2/3 open slots to bond with it. After all she does want to train her to be human and we'd be the best option for that since we are also helping Yato.

Well, pretty sure this is a no brainer, and this was pretty lucky for us, and nice to see that our bro has his own agency.

Pretty sure that this will be resolved next weekend, and with 3/5 of our education goals met, if it keep being that week ap is pretty much for training only, i would say another resistance mental, one resistance physical, training our bro in diplo since he already has 20, and final one empathy feelings with Yato again since the flavor text sounded pretty important for him. I propose this because one skill in high ranks generally is better than many small ones, we need one more in mental rez to resist without our partner, and with him we should resist the higher and/or more focused mental atks.

Btw, if we need +/- 45 skill in a mundane MA to be part of the Competitions, we can get it pretty easily, even without lvling, with one training action toghether with Yato, since that gives +25 into the skill. Pretty sure we will do that waaaay before week 14.

Also, if we do really well in this i think our bro could get Hiroko too out of it, and both of them should combo really well while being different enough to count as different. Besides, a harem highschool with 2 fox ladies would be a good start as long as they properly evolve.

Edit: just read the above, i don't think that Hiroko is a good match for us, we are tank as fuck, while she should be a trickster.

Edit2: I meant as a partner. Fighting together with her would be a nightmare for our enemies.

As I have said before we will be the broest bro to ever BRO, we will bro so hard we will break the broth (fourth) wall and bro our way to deism as the god of BROs
 
Shakes fists to the heavens.

Yes!!! The Shounen Trope of being able to use Diplomacy to great effect remains.

Kind of wonder what would have happened, if we hadn't managed to find out some backstory beforehand. Probably not well, all things considered.
