I Married the Strongest Magician - Chapter 16

Her eyes sparkled as she asked the question— like a curious kitten discovering something new.

What a troublesome lady…

I laughed to myself internally.

But watching her like that…wasn’t unpleasant in the least.

Had I ever taken a woman on a dungeon date before? No. Never.

When it came to battles, women typically fell into two categories: those who found it barbaric…
or those who expected to be protected like princesses.

Cherie didn’t belong to either camp.

She took up her own weapon and struck down monsters one after another— a true warrior maiden and a sight to behold.

Such a strange woman…

“It seems there have been kidnappings in the dungeon.”

I explained the outline of a case that likely only the Mage Corps knew about—to my battle-loving wife.

“My goodness! And… how do they act after returning two or three days later?”

“Completely normal. No visible injuries, and their consciousness is clear. But… they all have no memory of the time they were missing.”

I pierced a demon moth with an ice spear as I spoke.

“……….”

Cherie was deep in thought.

“What’s on your mind?”

“I’m not certain, but… there must be some kind of pattern among the kidnapped adventurers.”

“A pattern…? ”

I could start to see why people called her brilliant.

Still, I couldn’t think of anything that connected the victims.

Men and women alike had been abducted…If anything, the only link was that it happened in the dungeon.

As we discussed this utterly unromantic topic, we arrived at the spot where one of the adventurers had disappeared.

“Nothing seems particularly strange here…”

“No, wait—look at that! ”

I pointed my sword toward the air.

“A trace of teleportation magic…!? ”

She could see it too.
