The word plague originally and exclusively applied to yersinia pestis, it wasn't until later that people started using the word plague to refer to any epidemic. In this regard, the translation is entirely correct.

At to whether or not the plague is a cliche, even to this day, it remains far and away the single most deadly epidemic in all of human history. Even the 1918 flu pandemic was small in comparison. Saying that the plague is a cliche disease is like saying that swords are a cliche fantasy weapon.

yeah the school shit is everything until you hopefully graduate from it 😏. I'm guessing she died when she was a high school so she haven't experience the outside world. This is why she related the high school memory as a bad life past. Well I'm glad her personality didn't warped and become some bitch keep poking the MC and become the caner of this series. Lately translated isekai-shoujo manga filled with these fucks, hard to continue reading.

The one thing I don't fully get is how does the increased chance of civil war equal to being the thing that increased the chances of the plague? If there was an actual war going on it'd make more sense as supplies start to dwindle and people's ability to maintain good hygiene decreases, however civil war hasn't actually broken out yet. Unless their investigation showed one side released the plague on purpose but I highly doubt that as you can't control the spread and no one is offering a cure so that would be a terribly stupid plan. If I'm missing something though please let me know I'm just not connecting the dots as she is the one linking her engagement to the plague.

I like how he randomly slams the table to make her jump while she is carefully examining the illness

@Aeriandra Other than intended sabotage, I think that perhaps one of the dukes sought out foreign supplies, likely by boat, and the plague came with said supplies via the rats. If not for the threat of a civil war then said duke wouldn't have felt the need to seek out those supplies and thus bring in a disease from a foreign country.

@Kizuro Yeah somewhere around that. But she (our villain) cited a lower number. From Wikipedia: The plague is believed to be the cause of the Black Death that swept through Asia, Europe, and Africa in the 14th century and killed an estimated 50 million people.[1] This was about 25% to 60% of the European population.

The bubinic plague may not be the most original or the worst plague/desease out there in human history but is one of the most famous to the point that even kids who have read enough know how devastating it was and how importan higiene became after that also is easy to give a cause and consecuence so that's why is always picked. If they chose HIV/AIDS for example, then that world is screwed without her to be able to do anything

@icekatze: It is true that the bubonic plague has caused many more deaths than ever before, but it is a disease that has raged around the world for centuries (more precisely since the fourteenth century, and there are still open outbreaks around the world); the Spanish flu instead lasted only three years but in this tiny period of time has infected over half a billion people killing one hundred million.
At the level of sudden pandemic the flu known as the Spanish flu has been far more destructive than any other disease the human race has ever had to face (and that is why avian flu and swine fever, which are part of the same flu strain - H1N1 - terrorize so much).
