Since there was no one with Ozul right now except for Clara, he could decide his path and his pace all by himself.
But even when he was almost alone, it was only almost. Clara still held him down to an extent. He had already planned to drop her off as early as possible. For now, he was just stuck with her.
As he leisurely walked his way through the forest, Clara meekly followed behind him. She did not say anything along the way since she was aware that Ozul did not like meaningless talk.
Not to mention, he always seemed to avoid her whenever she tried to talk with him previously.
Ozul was able to feel the awkwardness, but he did not care either way since it was all the better as long as Clara stayed away from him.
Chill people... ;-;
Just because I didn't say it in the previous chapter's note, doesn't mean that I am planning to ship Clara with Ozul.
