Picking up the events from the previous installment, 2.5 Dimensional Seduction episode 8 commences with Masamune and Ririsa telling Hanyu, their club advisor, that they don't want to submit the community service report because it goes against their ideal, which is the love for cosplay.

As a result, they want to participate in the Yokosuka cosplay event and use it as their activity report. Hanyu recalls the backlash she faced as a cosplayer in the past and feels Ririsa and Masamune's report won't get approved.

However, Ririsa's earnest passion for cosplay captivates Hanyu's heart and brings tears to her eyes. She hugs Ririsa and says they have to perform well at the event. Following that, Masamune calls Ogino and learns that Nagomi, one of the top four cosplayers will be present at the Yokosuka cosplay stream.

He feels it will be a tough challenge for other cosplayers to showcase their talent with her at the event considering she's a pro. The episode then switches to Nagomi, who cosplays a popular character for a photoshoot. Later, we see Ririsa and Masamune arrive at the event for their activity report.

Ririsa encounters Nagomi, who recognizes her as Liliel from before. During the conversation, Ririsa realizes that Nagomi will be cosplaying a character she doesn't know about.

The celebrity cosplayer knows others may think she's shrewd for cosplaying trending characters for popularity, but she reveals that she loves cosplay. While Ririsa expresses her love for Liliel through cosplay, for Nagomi, her love is cosplaying itself.

She advises Ririsa to only come to the hall in the evening because she intends to take the hall for herself in the afternoon. Nagomi's strong words leave a lasting impression on Ririsa, and she gets overwhelmed.

Meanwhile, Ogino and Masamune discuss strategies to get the best chance of attracting people to their booths. The episode ends with Masamune Okumura prepared to take on the challenge.
