I think Eco was just surprised that there are women in the magic bureau that are part of the investigation team. Another is that the cousin’s fiancé was made to seem like she is a cook or receptionist or something along that line and is therefore not part of the crimes/investigation fraction. Not sure if I explained it well enough or not and please excuse my grammar mistakes, I am typing this on my phone.
Two things bother me... when the blond woman grabs eco, the cousin says thats my cousin eco, a later scene the blond woman asks ‚so who is the boy? ‚ And eco hears that the woman is part of the magic Bureau and a chapter after that she‘s suprised that women are in the magic Bureau? Is ist because of the translation or does the author actually explain everything for a second time?
