Chapter 339 Nebula
?About a week after that commercial was shot, it was aired on the screen.
Putting great emphasis to the commercial, Mizuno spared no efforts to market this commercial to the people. Their marketing team spent day and night booking led billboards in various part of Japan to broadcast this commercial.
In Shibuya crosswalk, one of the busiest place on earth where people wouldn't even stop for a moment as the commercial started playing on the big screens placed on towering skyscrapers, many people took notice of it.

"Kota, isn't it big brother Hiro?"
A boy asked as he pointed towards the advertisement screen of one of the store.
"It is big brother Hiro" nodding his head, Kota who right now was goofing around with his friends answered in an excited tone.
"Damn!! He looks so cool"
"Yeah!! I'm gonna tell my mom to buy me the same boot big brother Hiro is wearing in that advertisement"
"Me too"

"Satsuki fill me with the details regarding that ad campaign we've launched" hurrying her way towards her office, a lady dressed immaculately in coffee colored suit spoke in a commanding manner.
Running towards her, another lady answered as she presented the reports, "Yes mam. Based on the sales improvement we've had in recent weeks we can assume that the campaign is a huge success."
"Since its launch, we've already sold out our inventory and we also have more than 10 thousand order in pending"
Giving a satisfying nod, she murmured, "Good.... We'll continue to ride this momentum and sell even more"
"Yes mam"
The lady who was filling her with the reports responded.
'It seems like we still underestimated your influence Takahashi Hiro' Nanao thought as she leaned her back against her chair.
Suddenly a sinister smile bloomed on her face as she murmured, "You're our golden goose Takahashi Hiro"

"Achoo!!"
Hiro let out an abrupt sneeze.
Wiping his nose, he murmured, "Did I stay too long in shower today?"
"Or somebody could be talking about you" Shun who was seated right next to him joked.
"Well given that he has become even a bigger star, who knows if it's only one person or a whole town hahaha...."
Another of his teammate joined the conversation as he teased Hiro.
No sooner had those words escaped his mouth, everyone around him burst into laughter. Due to which, all of a sudden it became extremely lively around them.
Currently all of them were inside the team bus; heading towards their next destination to face their 20th opponent of the season.
Right now they were sitting in the second position with a game at their hand. If they managed to win even this game then once again they'd move to the first position.
This match however was the last match Hiro and Shun could attend. After this match, they'd have to join the national team for a closed door training session to prepare for the big tournament— under 17 world cup.
"Dare to dream, Mizuno"
Few of his teammates started imitating his roles in the commercial. And they seemed quite serious when they did so.
The follow up however was only laughter of happiness and carefreeness.
"Ahh right, they developed a whole new product for you right Hiro?" solemnly asked Akihiro with curiosity flashing in his eyes.
"Yeah, it is totally new brand developed for only you, isn't it?" another player chimed in.
Nodding his head, Hiro answered, "Yeah, it's called Nebula"
"Nebula? As in those gigantic masses of cloud or fog in the sky responsible for creation of stars and galaxies?" curiously asked one of his teammate who recognized that term immediately.
"Well....., not sure. But they did say something like, you're a star in the process of making and it is believed that Nebula's are star-forming region. So, this boot is a nebula because you'll be a star formed in this boot someday" Hiro answered in a profound way.
The way Hiro answered about the naming of the boot designed for him sounded so grand and profound that it immediately captivated the hearts of many of his teammates.
"Woah!!"
Mesmerized by his words, many of them stared at him with sparkling eyes.
"Do you want to see it? I forgot to show this to you all before" Hiro questioned.
In a unified voice, many of them responded in rather irritated tone, "Why didn't you show it before?"
Hiro himself had actually gotten these boots delivered to him just this morning. So, he simply didn't have enough time to show it to his friends.
And the one he wore in the commercial was a prototype sample. It wasn't the finished product which is why he had no access to the boots.
But now as he mentioned about the boots, it piqued everybody's interest. Previously when they had tried asking him about the boot, he had answered that the one he had wore on the commercial was merely a prototype and the real one would take some time to finish.
However now as they heard about the information of the availability of the boot from him, they simply couldn't hold back themselves from trying to see the real deal.
Afterall almost everybody knows that original boots used by the players are made differently than the replicas sold in the store.
Apart from the design almost everything is different. Especially the materials used to manufacture in huge quantities are totally different.
Well its quite obvious why they do it?
It's to save the cost and make it affordable. Afterall the original product would cost a lot and not everybody would be able to buy it.
And this is disadvantageous for both the company and public. The company would suffer losses and lose potential customers.
On the other hand, general public wouldn't get access to the thing they want.
As if Hiro was taking out treasure from his bag, everybody curiously focused their gaze on his hands.
Countless light patterns such as purple, red, green merged together in a dark background with many dots of light resembling a nebula perfectly. The design of the boot was quite eye catching and mesmerizing.
It was truly a sight to behold and one of its kind.
