Kuroko really was doomed to be like that no matter what magical realm he was in, but he was at least grateful the magic he was learning did not involve that. Kuroko didn't really need help to disappear.

Still, he was happy to see Midorima, even if the answer was rather aloof and rude. Any sign of his friends being here was a good one. "Ah, Midorima-kun, I'm glad to see you're okay. I actually need help getting my friend here to the grail I located. Would you be able to assist?"
