What Do You Mean All Dungeons Are Girls!!!?

Chapter CX Trials and Choices III
Elsewhere around the same time, Arlie had worked her way into being alone with a certain young elf that had caught her notice. A girl she wanted to speak with before leaving. She gave a friendly smile to the girl and leaned forward almost conspiratorially, So you like Yiran?
The girl blushed bright red, mumbled incoherently, and turned around. Only confirming what Arlie had already learned yesterday. At her age, it was hard not to notice these things. Even the most antisocial person her age would have had enough encounters with people to pick up a few people reading skills and this girl was practically an open book. Arlie figured it would take an Ancient Japanese harem protagonist not to notice this girls feelings. Not that she was going to tell her that. She might take it as creepy.
Arlie needed her to open up, not creep her out. She started with something different, Honestly he seems like a nice young man. If I was into men, I might just have been tempted to pursue him, myself.
She considered, but decided not to mention, that Yiran wasnt going to be a man for much longer. With the changes happening right now in the mortal realm, it would not be long before his elven worshippers decided he was a she, and once that happened. Well, it would only be a matter of time before Yiran really did become a woman. All that belief and worship was a powerful elixir for the gods, it gave them strength but it also shaped them.
The girl looked right at her, and gave her a glare. One that quickly morphed into a frown as she realized what was said. You dont like men?
Arlie nodded, No, I dont. That doesnt make you uncomfortable does it?
The young lady blushed and squirmed, A little.
Arlie giggled at her behaviour, Well, while I do find you pretty, I already have two lovely girls in my life, and you already have your eyes set on Yiran.
The girls blush deepened. Not long after she cooled, and then took on a pensive expression. Yiran called you a primordial goddess last night, but I realize I dont know much about you. Your relationship with Yiran, what you embody, the tenants of your followers. Nothing really.
Arlie smiled, Well, with Yiran we are strangers. I did know one of his ancestors though. she blushed slightly, and then continued, Anyway as for what I embody, that would be the cycle of Creation, and Destruction. I create worlds, breathe life where none was before, but I am also the harbinger of the end. I bring death to dying worlds, but I never leave them dead for long. Their death merely serves as the catalyst for their rebirth.
Does that mean our world is dying? she voiced with great concern.
Arlie chuckled, ...NO! Im not here to end this world. There is no need for me to do anything major here. Although there is another world I do have my eye on. That world is so filled with corruption that I think it is time I bring an end to it, so it may be reborn. Although I plan to give them another ten years to fix things on their own. I already sent my warning.
Anyway that isnt why I wanted to talk to you. I looked into you when I noticed your attraction to Yiran. Yiran needs someone, and I think you will fit the bill. I just have one question. Do you want to be his goddess, his lover, his equal, the one who stays his hand when he is wrong, and supports him when he is right?
The girl fidgeted nervously, that sounded like a marriage vow. Was this goddess trying to marry her to Yiran? It seemed way too fast. Her mind never even considered why, and it was a long moment before she meekly uttered, ...yes
Arlie sighed, Are you sure? I need you to be firm on this.
This time she was faster to answer, and with certainty she shouted, Yes!
Arlie smiled, as she manifested a strange clear sheet of crystal. Crystal that quickly filled with blood red text, and at the bottom was a single glowing drop of blood sealed in a small crystal case. I can help you with that. I can set you on the path, and grant you the spark of divinity you will need for it. Nothing is ever free though. Sit down and we can discuss my price.
The girl shuddered, a part of her told her this was a bad idea, but if it got her what she wanted it would be worth it.
Misaki perused the shelves. Right now Phyllis was having a private lesson on lust magic, and Misaki had found herself with a bit of free time. Free time she had chosen to spend in the library. At the moment she was looking for one that would not give her nightmares like that first book she had pulled off the shelves. The title had seemed innocent enough, but the very first chapter had been... unsettling. The monster described by that book was something she never wanted to encounter. Misaki didnt even want to think about it, and had managed to mostly push it from her mind by now.
Finally, as she moved from one shelf to the next a title caught her eye;
The title sounded interesting, and the author, well she was not sure who they were, but she knew that clan. Milith belonged to that clan, and that meant something. She even knew that the Countryman clan was the most influential clan in the Solean empire, having been ruling cast since the founding of the empire. All things she had learned from talking with Milith. Although those were little things she had learned while trying to learn about her grandfather turned grandmother Arlie Contrey. Little did she know, she actually knew the author of this book, and that Dewari was lucky to have it. Nor did she realize this book wasnt even supposed to be in this library. It was too valuable to be here. She hadnt even noticed that the book did not match the organization of the books around it.
She pulled the book off the shelf and headed for a table. Her curiosity peaked. Misaki was reading the book before she had even settled into a chair.
Suddenly the book was pulled from her fingers, and she looked up to see Dewari standing there. An expression she had never seen before on her face. Where did you find this book?
Misaki with a pit in her stomach and feeling worried gulped, and almost mechanically pointed at the small gap between books from where she had pulled the book in question.

Hey girls! Just a reminder that now would be a good time to join Patreon. They just got a double release, and we are just one patron short of the goal. That means a bonus chapter will be in the works soon.
