The question makes her pause.] Does it matter if I know why? You told me you don't want me to, so I... I'm trusting you that there's a good enough reason for it. [She assumes it's just because he doesn't want Iruma finding out in general--it'd be a terrible blow to someone to find out they're murdered or something (and since they're from this killing game thing, she assumes it was murder) and having to come to grips with their own mortality and what might await them should they leave this world and go back home.
No matter how much Kokichi hates Iruma, laying that kind of crisis on her seems beyond cruel, even for him. Pulling that kind of ammunition out just for petty spite isn't a line he'd cross, she'd like to think.
With a bit more confidence now she repeats:] I trust you. [Somewhat.] I figure if it's something I absolutely need to know, you'll tell me. Of course I want to know, but I can wait. [Until he tells her on his own, or she finds out by accident somehow, or Shuichi tells her. Whatever happens first. It's one of many, many mysteries surrounding these guys, but Iruma's fate/why Kokichi wants it hidden from her is low on the priority list.]
