----------------------------------------
Time has stopped for Kiyoshi there. Poor guy.
I know everyone's dying to know what's going on (I myself was in the same boat), so I figured I'd do everyone a service and offer my own translation here (translated from Chinese). My source is here:
Mari: ....dead.... (in the original text, Mari uses a word that roughly translates to "already" or "finished," but there really is no way to properly convey the idea in English, so I've opted to simply say what she meant to say here.)
Hana: Huh?
Mari: ...He's dead.....
*Kiyoshi scribbles the words “Can’t touch boobs if I’m dead” on the ground.
Kiyoshi: Aaahhhhhhhh-! Aaahhhhhh!! Aaaehhh....aahhhhh~~!! Euahhhh!! I don’t wanna die!! Don’t wanna- I wanna fondle boobs! Ahh......
*Falls on face*
I...don’t wanna....die.....uh....uh....
Chiyo...chan....no, I can’t....even if I’m dead, how could I let Chiyo see me in such a state...no, what the hell am I doing....that’s right....even if I’m dead, I can’t abandon my dignity as a man! At the very least....I need to be a man who can face Chiyo-chan without shame....Chiyo-chan...I truly hope she is someone who would press her palms together in prayer before my grave for my sake....even though a lot has happened, hasn’t she always stood on my side? Precisely because you are here, I haven’t lost my sanity under these circumstances, and continue to be strong. So thank you....even if I’m dead....I still like (love) you.
Hehe....it (Kiyoshi’s confession) couldn’t possible reach her huh....*clenches fist*. Because I’m dead....Thank you Chiyo-chan. It’s thanks to you that I didn’t become a monster....and died as a hero.
.....as expected....it’ll become this kind of news huh...
*TV reports and newspaper clippings flash through Kiyoshi’s mind* Too lazy to translate all of this, but all of them are to the effect of “High school boy dies suddenly. Investigations underway regarding the incident of the shameless flashing and its motives.”
Kiyoshi: No, no. Let me think about this carefully....none of these reports seem to portray me as a hero at all....!? Who the heck would press her palms together in prayer before the grave of a guy like that!! If I were to die like that....I just couldn’t do it!! Hey you bastard, tuck your dick back inside....no that’s not right. It’s me!
*Cherubs show up*
Kiyoshi: Are they....here to pick me up....!? Uh....uhaahhhhh...don’t come here! I definitely don’t want to die like this!!
*Cherubs have a serene look on their faces*
Kiyoshi: to think they’d put on the the kind of expression that says, “all words are meaningless....!!”
*Kiyoshi’s soul attempts to hide inside his body, but the cherubs find him anyway.*
Kiyoshi: Uhaahhh!! Goddamnit, they discovered me after all. Get outta here! I already said I don’t want to die yet!! Hana-san! At least help me out a little here! Isn’t it you that put me in this situation!? If this goes on you will have become a murderer! Are you really ok with that!? I’m begging you, please get these things away from me! Uhaaah! Don’t touch me! Get outta here!
Hana: That's impossible....then the cause of his death is....
Mari: ....Probably....because the force with which his shorts were pulled down caused his penis to be revealed.....and subsequently caused him to feel an overwhelming amount of shame...
Hana: ..........
Mari: What.....should I do? What's wrong with me....my mind is in chaos....why is the guy wearing girl's panties? What action am I supposed to take right now?
Hana: No....that's not possible....it's not like that....Kiyoshi....that kind of idea....he never would have had such an idea....I....I just....wanted to reveal the striped panties to everyone....what should we do....what should we do!? (Did my best with these lines from Hana. I can't tell 100% what she's trying to say from the Chinese text, to be honest).
Chiyo: ? Is something going on? It became quiet all of a sudden....
*Chiyo notices the striped panties*
Chiyo: Oh!? That....that....could it be....the striped panties from back then? *Reminisces: "why would there be girl's panties in such a place?"*
Chiyo: ...........
Mari: What to do in such a circumstance....the cavalry battle would probably have to be cancelled....
Hana: I'm s....sorry, Kiyoshi...
Chiyo: ..................
Mari: Wh.....what the heck am I doing....? I need to take emergency measures....!!
*Kiyoshi's soul is curled up in mid-air in a fetal position with cherubs surrounding him, but seems to react to Hana's crying.*
Hana: Kiyoshi, you can't die-!!
*Chiyo covers her mouth with one hand*
Unknown speaker: So....so disgusting....there's a pervert wearing striped panties--!! (It's really ambiguous who the speaker is here. I'd like to believe it's an outburst from some random girl on Kate's team, but a panel on page 18 shows Chiyo covering her mouth with one hand and pointing at Kiyoshi with another.....)
Bimbo leader: eh....
Presumably a bunch of girls in unison: Y.......yaaahhhhhhhhh!!"
Comments: is it just me, or does Hana seem to be the only one truly cares about the fact that Kiyoshi is "dead.?" Mari is in shock, but the fact that she still mentions the cavalry battle makes me think she either hasn't fully-processed the situation and its implications yet or that winning the cavalry battle is more important to her than Kiyoshi's life, which would be utterly cold.
It also remains to be seen what Chiyo makes of the entire situation and whether or not she was the one to have that insensitive outburst. I never shipped her and Kiyoshi (I'm Hanayoshi all the way), but I think if she was the one to make the statement, that would really be a new low for her character.

I fucking love this damn manga full of perverts. It kills me to wait for the chapters though, especially in situations like this. D:
I have feeling that Hana-san is going to save Kiyoshi though. She deeply regretted what she did and she might be the only one being able to save him. Maybe by showing she is a pervert too because she swapped underwear with Kiyoshi? Maybe something completely different... but I need closure for that right noooow D:
Welp he's dead, story's over. XD The cherubs were a nice touch. XD

Going by the 210 raw spoilers she falls for him even harder making the Kiyoshi x Chiyo ship even stronger! XD
Jesus christ this chapter was fucking deep.
The way Mari discovered he was dead was shocking and honestly quite realistic.
Everyones reactions to it was incredible. I don't know what Mari could do to save the day?
Hana crying was very sad, the scene reminded me that this manga is completely incomparable to others.
Overall Im excited for whats about to happen in the next few chapters.

Fuck, Just kill me now.
Seriously, pack it up. It's over, done, dead, gone. I'm not going through with this again. I don't want to be shipwrecked on that scale again after KaLulu, that made me look like Shinji for months.

Going by the 210 raw spoilers she falls for him even harder making the Kiyoshi x Chiyo ship even stronger! XD
I wouldn't be so sure. It looks to me like yet another misunderstanding on Chiyo's part, even if she did pick up on the panties being a part of their strategy part. Sooner or later this bubble that is Chiyo's false image of Kiyoshi will have to burst. I'll wait to see what happens then.
Oh god. Never ever seen someone so dead. That's the power of striped panties. That final "EEEEEEEEK!!!" at the end is signaling Armageddon for Kiyoshi. I need the next chapter ASAP.
I think Chiyo understood the plan...that's why she shouted "there's a disgusting pervert wearing stripe panties!!!" and pointed it. I think Chiyo realized the plan and thought it best to call out the obvious since nobody seems to want to say it... or maybe I am wrong, probably another person screamed that.
