The girls cast a bunch of spells and attacks but Proteus blocks them with a magical barrier.

—Proteus—
This is all the might the Goddess has to offer? Don't make me laugh.

—Polyta—
This is bad... none of us have a high enough LOVE LEVEL to pierce his defenses!

A list of all the girls' Love Levels appears. They are:
            POLYTA: 5/9 hearts | Element: Wind |
            CASANDRA: 2/9 Hearts | Element: Gold |
            ZABELLE: 3/9 Hearts | Element: Lightning |
            HELEN: 4/9 Hearts | Element: Fire |
            RILLY: 3/9 Hearts | Element: Water |
            ELADEA: 3/9 Hearts | Element: Storm

—Polyta—
We need a change of tactics... and fast!

—Casandra—
Don't sweat it, Polyta-- I got a plan!
Jiro!

Casandra dramatically holds out an Orb.

—Casandra—
Purchase this MYSTIC ORB off me, and use it to power me up!



Jiro blank stares Casandra, who is still holding out an orb.



Jiro hands over a bag of money to Casandra, who is trading him the orb.



Jiro aims the aura at Casandra, who buffs up.



—Casandra—
Heck yeah! Get ready for this, Proteus!

Polyta glows pure white. A giant gold Lucky Cat appears behind her.

—Casandra—
ULTRALOVE JACKPOT SUPREME!!!

The lucky cat slugs Proteus with a beefy fist. He goes flying like a ragdoll.

—Proteus—
Nghh-!

Proteus teleports out.

—Proteus—
Hmph. You've shown some passing degree of strength. But be warned: it won't be enough.
I will return-- with greater numbers. And on that day, you will understand the price of your stagnation.

VICTORY! Everyone gains experience. The spoils of this fight: 56 gold and 4 sushi.

—Casandra—
Yeah, you better run!!

—Zabelle—
We did it...!

—Polyta—
Excellent work, everyone! And especially you--

Jiro is gone. There is a blank space where he was just standing.

--Jiro?
