Chapter 339 Neb
??About a week after thatmercial was shot, it was aired on the screen.
Putting great emphasis to themercial, Mizuno spared no efforts to market thismercial to the people. Their marketing team spent day and night booking led billboards in various part of Japan to broadcast thismercial.
In Shibuya crosswalk, one of the busiest ce on earth where people wouldn''t even stop for a moment as themercial started ying on the big screens ced 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''veunched" hurrying her way towards her office, ady dressed immactely in coffee colored suit spoke in amanding manner.
Running towards her, anotherdy 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 sess."
"Since itsunch, 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"
Thedy 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 be 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 intoughter. 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 thest 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 themercial. And they seemed quite serious when they did so.
The follow up however was onlyughter of happiness and carefreeness.
"Ahh right, they developed a whole new product for you right Hiro?" solemnly asked Akihiro with curiosity shing in his eyes.
"Yeah, it is totally new brand developed for only you, isn''t it?" another yer chimed in.
Nodding his head, Hiro answered, "Yeah, it''s called Neb"
"Neb? As in those gigantic masses of cloud or fog in the sky responsible for creation of stars and gxies?" 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 Neb''s are star-forming region. So, this boot is a neb 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 themercial was a prototype sample. It wasn''t the finished product which is why he had no ess 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 themercial was merely a prototype and the real one would take some time to finish.
However now as they heard about the information of the avability 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 yers 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 thepany and public. Thepany would suffer losses and lose potential customers.
On the other hand, general public wouldn''t get ess 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 neb perfectly. The design of the boot was quite eye catching and mesmerizing.
It was truly a sight to behold and one of its kind.
