Chapter 074 (Beastars)

An Aloof Knight (君はぼっちのナイト) is Chapter 74 of the manga Beastars written and illustrated by Paru Itagaki, published in the Weekly Shōnen Champion of the Akita Shoten publishing house.

Synopsis
On a rooftop at Cherryton Academy, Legoshi and Pina exchange phone numbers in order to keep in touch. Legoshi takes a pen from Pina to remember his scent. Legoshi sniffs the pen and records the odor in what he calls "his internal vault of odors" where he stores everything he has smelled in his 17 years of life and obtains more data from the animals he knows in order to protect them. There has always been one scent that stands out among the rest - Louis's scent.

Later, Legoshi is patrolling the Black Market with Gohin who scolds him for being distracted. Gohin reminds him that they are looking for two carnivores addicted to gazelle meat. Legoshi identifies them and Gohin orders him to capture them while he goes looking for a patient who escaped them before. Legoshi sneaks and jumps in front of his two targets and using Gohin's methods to hunt his patients, Legoshi treats them as patients and stares into their eyes. This provokes the two carnivores and Legoshi makes the first move to attack them and manages to defeat them with great ease. Later, Gohin praises Legoshi for his good work and how he is such a good motivator. He quickly realizes that Legoshi is not there and finds him training with rocks because he considers that he is not yet strong enough to face Riz. Gohin stops him for his impatience by telling him that his body will no longer strengthen from carrying heavy things. Legoshi claims he cannot be patient and that he must fight with a brown bear. Gohin alleges that he is only a bear, which makes Legoshi realize that he has another bear in front of him. Legoshi tries to surprise Gohin while he is distracted, but easily he anticipates it and easily ties him with a bamboo rope. He scolds him and tells Legoshi that bamboo is his best ally and Legoshi needs to get allies because without allies, he would end up being crushed by the pressure.

Later, Legoshi finds himself watching alone, thinking that he cannot afford to end up being crushed by the pressure. Remembering that he once had an ally who gave him emotional support, but does not know where he is now. Legoshi notices two suspicious lions and follows them, but soon discovers that these are only taking clandestine deals, so he does not want to be involved. When he turns around, Legoshi discovers that Louis is right behind him, who tells him that he does not have to say a word. Surprised Legoshi notices how the other lions of the Shishigumi refer to Louis as boss and does not know how to respond to such a situation. Louis puts his hand on Legoshi's muzzle declaring that they leave everything to him.
