Because Germaine clearly already knows, otherwise there's no point in her asking such a trivial question. It's all lipservice, fight banter. Might as well call a spade a spade at that point. It's not like her not admitting she was hiding it would change the fact Germaine wasn't able to find it easily (or so she thought).

I may have missed something in that dialogue translation, but I was under the impression (based on Rin's previous expressions and banter) that she was being a bit sarcastic with it.

I took the subtext to mean:  "Great, we went from taking care of the big Freesis to taking care of the small one." That's the implication I think Clarith took offense with. I'll recheck the line though as I do vaguely remember having trouble with it.
