For those who missed the joke, the female ghoul who acts weird around the male characters is a fujoshi, which is Japanese slang for a Boys' Love fangirl but literally translates to rotten girl.

When she gained that trait, I really wonder on where she got the reference. They've been living secluded in that cave after all.

She probably doesn't get the reference herself. It's just a strange coincidence, or perhaps her evolution was guided by the gods. That'd be the in-universe explanation, anyhow. The out-of-universe explanation, of course, is that the author thought it'd be funny even if it seems a little out-of-place in a fantasy story.
