Vergil nods ever so slightly when she says Mizu would likely ask her to mind her own business. Which is less a reflection of anything to do with her and all to do with Mizu himself. Vergil and Mizu get along well because they both respect the other's privacy, after all. Even when there's an inherent expectation that they should pry during a trial, both seem to consciously do the least amount to satisfy the requirements of the trial and nothing further. He can't imagine Mizu would be particularly thrilled about the prospect of a potential stranger being informed of his interests without his consent or knowledge, which is why she wisely attempted to cut it short before Vergil might ask any questions.
He finds it more difficult to know what to do with the information that Mizu was looking for him. Vergil's brow furrows slightly when Rin correctly identifies him, but the furrow deepens at Mizu asking around for him. What reason would Mizu have— ...Oh. Oh, yes. That's right. After their first spar, Vergil had promised to provide Mizu with tools to repair his equipment that was broken during the fight, but he had also told Mizu to find him once his wounds healed so they could fight again. Vergil hadn't been specific enough to share his exact unit in the building, but Mizu knew Vergil lived in Satori Hills. It makes sense then that Mizu would come to this girl who would have seen him around even if she didn't know Vergil personally to learn where exactly he lived.
Vergil doesn't bother with elaborating on why Mizu was looking for him. The reason doesn't exactly have relevance now if it ever did.
"He hasn't mentioned you to me," he says, placing no value or judgment on it. There had been a pragmatic reason for mentioning Vergil to her. There was no such reason for the reverse. He states it only as an indication that she knows more about Vergil than he does her. Vergil pulls the book on London out from his stack, leaving himself with only his poetry books as he offers it to Rin. "You're free to read it yourself, or deliver it to Mizu if you'd prefer."
The purpose of having the book wasn't for his own knowledge after all. He only has it for Mizu's sake. So, it matters little how its contents make its way to Mizu, only that it does. Vergil has no issue in allowing Rin to take it from him. For all he cares, she could even tell Mizu she was the one to find the book in the first place. Because if Mizu trusted Rin enough to ask about Vergil, she could likely be entrusted with the book.
