    <span style="font-weight:400">"Oh, wow. These trees are incredible." Keith''s eyes widened in surprise as he headed to the backyard and spotted two new trees. They towered over the orange and apple trees, their branches heavy with ripe mangos.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Diana, you really went over the top." The great spirit of nature really outdid herself this time.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Diana grinned, "Of course. I''m curious about the taste of the LY Mango. It was delicious before." The LY Mango was incredibly delicious, even without her doing something to it.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What about the sour one?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..." Diana looked away, trying to make eye contact with him. Keith chuckled. It was really not to your liking.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"That was so devious, Keith!" Nephele jumped on his back, "How could you not tell us about this?!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Not my fault. You guys tried it before thinking about it?" Keith giggled, "You tasted one while returning home, right?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"How did you know?!" Nephele gasped. That was exactly what she did; those fruits were enticing as she returned. Especially the yellow skin of the mangoes. As she took a bite, that sourness smacked her face!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Nephele," "You." Diana and Udine stared at the great spirit of wind. The woman gulped, "I''m sorry!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">While the sermons urred, Keith examined the mangos. I think this one is going to be really delicious. It was quiterger than the regr one. Picking one from the branch, there was quite the heft to it as well.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Keith, are the mangos done growing?" Krystal came out.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm, they''re done. Want to try one?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..." Do I see a tail? For some reason, he could see a tail behind the future duchess, swaying back and forth like a tornado. So you''re that excited about it. Now that he thought about it, Krystal was pretty adamant about the mangos.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Here,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Heavy." The difference in weight was noticeable. Taking a knife, Keith cut the fruit open.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Interesting." What Keith expected was the juices to burst from the cut. That urred with the oranges and pearl beets. Yet, nothing came out from the mango.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Is the juice inside the flesh?" That could be one reason. All that heft was concentrated in the flesh. One way to find out; the two took a bite.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"!" Such a rich taste. The juices weren''t liquid like water but more like nectar. It was thick. Yet, it was an addicting taste as Keith continued to bite into it. vor explosion! While he savored the taste, Krystal frowned.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Weird."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What''s the matter, Krystal? Wait, you called it weird?" Hold up? Are you kidding me?!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"No, it''s delicious." Krystal shook her head. The taste was better than the regr mango. And yet, "Something is missing with it?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Something missing?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"There''s thisck of vor that isn''ting from this."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I see." "You''re not doubting me?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Why would I?" Keithughed, "You''ve eaten this fruit more than me. I trust your taste buds on this."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..." Krystal nibbled on the mango, but that didn''t stop her ears from bing red.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Keith?" Turning his head, he saw the three great spirits staring at the two. It was quite a dead-pan stare.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Don''t worry. I didn''t eat the LY Mangos. Let''s eat one together." That was the other thing left. Hearing his words, the spirits calmed down. Unlike the regr mango that grew on trees, the LY Mangos grew like a flower, with the fruits growing on the stem.


    <span style="font-weight:400">With everyone having one, they took a bite. Keith blinked. The flesh is so bouncy! There was a snap back as he continued to chew. Each one had a fantastic juice flowing into his mouth. It had a mellow taste from a lychee and the tangy vors of a mango. Each one didn''t overpower the other!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"So good!" The great spirits were definitely fans of this.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Don''t you think it would go well with the other fruits?" Udine questioned. Pairing this together with other fruits was a great idea!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I was thinking about it the same way." They were all in agreement.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Nephele!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"On it!" Nephele didn''t hesitate as she quickly made a wind sphere. Once she did, Keith grabbed some fruits, "Let''s mix things up and have separate ones."


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"But we can also make them together." The thought ofbining every fruit was in her mind.


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"True, but I think it would muddle all their vors." Fruits hadplex vors. Specific pairings worked well together, while others not so much. The fruits he had were exceptionally so.


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I will go with a mango and apple pair. One Mango and orange, and thest one with blue plum." Each one had a different vor from the other." Tossing the fruits in, they blended together. The colors of each sphere changed with the mango.


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Delicious!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I quite like the apple! So sweet."


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"The plum has a less subtle sweetness."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"This will be great as a juice for today''s breakfast." Keith grinned.
