Raison d'être of a Glorifier (信徒の生き甲斐) is Chapter 59 of the manga Beastars written and illustrated by Paru Itagaki, published in the Weekly Shōnen Champion of the Akita Shoten publishing house.

Synopsis
After Pina's incredible act of arrogance, carnivores attend a rooftop meeting, where Bill expresses his frustration and dislike for Pina. Bill declares that Legoshi is attending the meeting because he believes that one of them killed Tem. Legoshi reveals that the reason he attended the meeting is because he wanted to chat with them and says that he is also a suspect due to being a wolf. Legoshi nervously says that he has no evidence that any of them did not kill Tem, so that to rule out their guilt they should prioritize the protection of their fellow herbivores every day and speak no ill of Pina. Bill declares that Legoshi is an animal of action and not of words, reminding him that he "slept" with a rabbit and whispering they ask him if large breed carnivores can sleep with rabbits. Legoshi accidentally reveals that he did not sleep with Haru. Bill only tells him that this only makes him a true pervert and Aoba says he knows why of his reserved nature claiming to be in love with Haru and asks if he is simply not glorifying her. Legoshi leaves and texts Haru to meet him.

At night, Legoshi and Haru and have a casual conversation. Legoshi notices that Haru has a bandage on one of her fingers and asks her what happened. Haru tells him that she cut herself while cooking. Legoshi thinks about how he used to hate the size difference he has with Haru, but now it makes him happy. Wanting to protect her, Legoshi tries to convince himself that he is in love with Haru and not only glorifies her. Legoshi approaches Haru and caresses her face. When he is about to kiss Haru, Legoshi interrupts himself and asks Haru if she is still in love with Louis; a question that Haru does not know how to answer. Haru is annoyed and tells Legoshi that he doesn't know anything about her and Louis. Legoshi says that he knows since she has it written on her face. He apologizes for wanting her to belong to him and that is happy with her and that she is alive, realizing that his love for Haru is looking after her safety. Legoshi leaves telling her that from that moment he wants to protect her from a distance. Outside the building, Legoshi realizes that Aoba was right, and realizes that is what he must do for his love for Haru, while a great anonymous figure stands behind him.
