"Ah, right. Since White's and my identities as Masters have most likely been exposed, the hidden Master at the school is staying carefully concealed. But if we both leave, they might let down their guard." Rin voiced her thoughts.
Sakura fell silent.
Because... she actually knew who that person was.

"Mm, then that settles it. White—we'll go check the church tomorrow. The new overseer should be arriving soon. If we have the Holy Church's support, things will go much more smoothly for us afterward."
Lord El-Melloi II could no longer provide support, so just helping conceal the information would already be a tremendous help.

Their first collaboration had come when all of their respective companions had died, leaving the two of them back-to-back.
