And if you think about it, this still doesn't reflect what he said exactly. Which was just one sentence, and whatever it was left a smirk on his face and Eztali declaring it as the worst possible answer with a smile.
I think it is different, or there would be no need to explicitly saying "the world around her" ...

Etzali also says this on SS, remember? “Well, that boy was carrying out his ‘promise’ to protect the world around someone I have feelings for, so I thought I should help out some myself. It seems I overworked my shoulder a bit.”

Also, I never said the exact wording can be deduced, I'm talking about the content of the phrase... If he had just said "I'll take responsibility for her" then the meaning I'm talking about would have been lost.

Well, that's my opinion anyway.
(now considering Sumeragi's last post... loading 100%)

I cannot think of an alternative phrase that sounds easy to misunderstand... but the "world around her" still bothers me...
