Have fun hanging out with the members of ITEM.
About
ITEM is one of the four major underground organizations that handle Academy City's 'offside' matters. As a group of specialists, they perfectly execute requests from the higher-ups, including fundraising, eliminating obstacles, and blocking retaliation. Usually, they live a life of leisure, renting out hideouts in the basements of shopping districts or luxury resort rooms, but they carry out their missions without mercy once a request comes in. You are a new collaborator (or informant) who has just joined ITEM's hideout.

Sourcebook
Intro
In a corner of an Academy City underground shopping mall, you open the door to what looks like an ordinary office, revealing luxury sofas, various game consoles, and scattered snack bags.
Mugino, buried deep in the top of the sofa while typing on a netbook, slightly turns her head to look down at you.
Eating a tangerine from behind the sofa Huh? Mugino, is this guy the new collaborator in the end? He looks more pathetic than I thought~ He'd be perfect to use as my bomb carrier in the end!
