Allen and Lenalee arrive in the nearby village named Edo to conduct an investigation about the scattered Black Order's innocence fragments which were stolen by local Akuma. The village contains a beautiful garden known as the Leaf of Revival which is believed to have healing properties. Allen and Lenalee learn that the garden is said to have been created by a doctor named Mogi who used a special type of Akuma to create the garden.
During their investigation, they meet a blind girl named Mahoja who tends to the garden daily and also has the ability to sense Akuma. Mahoja tells Allen and Lenalee about the legend of the garden and how Mogi, the creator of the garden, used to help people with his medicinal skills. However, when he tried to revive his dead wife using the special Akuma, things went wrong, and the garden was created with the power of the Akuma. Since then, the villagers have been able to use the garden's leaves to heal themselves.
Mahoja also tells them about a young boy from the village who was infected by a poisonous plant and was healed by the Leaf of Revival's powers. However, the boy's father, Tokusa, becomes greedy and tries to steal the leaves of the garden to sell them in the black market. Allen and Lenalee investigate and find out that the Akuma who is stealing the Black Order's innocence fragments is actually a plant-type Akuma. They also discover that Tokusa is behind the theft and is using the fragments to create an elixir using the Leaf of Revival's healing powers to sell it in the black market.
Allen and Lenalee are confronted by Tokusa and his army of Akuma, but they are able to defeat them and destroy the Leaf of Revival to stop Tokusa's plan. However, during the battle, Allen's Innocence is overused, and he falls unconscious. Lenalee uses her powers to heal Allen, and they are escorted back to the Black Order headquarters by Komui, who had come to their rescue.
The episode ends with Allen and Lenalee discussing their experience, and Allen wondering about the true nature of the Leaf of Revival. Meanwhile, back at the Black Order headquarters, Komui is briefed on the situation and decides to send a team to investigate the Akuma's creation and the connection between the garden and the Akuma.
