The Southern Gorgon fruits grow duller in color day by day.
Six days later, the fruits naturally split open and cracks appear, marking full ripeness.
Starship commands the Blue Soldiers to transport Worker Ants into the reservoir for picking.
"Round Cypress, Fragrant Cypress, Spiked Cypress, Cypress, each of you take 10. Spiked Cypress, you bring 10 to the Giant Cypress."
"Blue Catalpa, Snakebark Maple, take 5 each."
"Ink Orchid, let's skip this time. Next year when the Northern Gorgon fruits ripen, we'll eat more."
Starship allocates simply.
"Thank you, Great King."
"Great King is wise."
"Great King is mighty."
The insects all respond in turn.
Total yield of Southern Gorgon is fixed at 465; after distributing 60, the rest are all sold to the caravan.
...
On harvest day, there's a banquet to celebrate.
Ink Orchid heads to the Divine Force Barrier to hunt large animals.
