He then reveals that it is Hidabat that is responsible, so they have to help Jibanyan. After a few failed attempts, Nathan finally forces Jibanyan out with the help of Happierre and Dismarelda. As Jibanyan tries to get back in with very little enthusiasm, Nathan frees him with the help of Fidgephant, revealing Hidabat. Hidabat tries to possess Jibanyan again after they returned from the bathroom, but Nathan stops her. Then it is revealed that Hidabat is having a hard time finding a place to seclude herself because it is too bright outside. Nathan then offers Hidabat to stay in his closet, which she happily accepts, and offers her Yo-kai Medal as rent.
