“Oi, Heart Under Blade, let’s fight.”
Without a hint of hesitation.
Facing the vampire of legend, she had no intention of backing down.

Hello again~ I'm quite curious if that was what Shinobu said in the LN when Koyomi headed out to protect Tsukihi. If I'm not mistaken, in the anime she agreed to help because Tsuki means moon and the moon has been good to her. Did SHAFT leave something out or change it entirely?

In the anime adaptation, Shaft cut plenty of dialogue and merged a few others, but it never added any new lines. The only new content they added was the final shot after the credits in the final episode.
For the heck of it, since it was so close to the chapter end, I decided to translate the conversation that immediately follows the conversation in this post. Hope you enjoy:“Was it Tsukihi?”
- Nisemonogatari Volume 2 “Tsukihi Phoenix” Chapter 11, final lines.
“Hm?”
“The name of your tiny little sister.”
“Wow, you remembered her name? I’m shocked to see you remembering a human’s name.”
“Hmph, even if I remember names, it’s not like I can tell you guys apart. Plus, she has a rather good name.”
“A good name? Really?”
“I like the Moon (Tsuki) in her name. The Sun is my enemy, but I’ve received a lot of help from the Moon. So it wouldn’t be bad to return the favor here.”
Well, that’s just her made up excuse.
Speaking, Shinobu stood up in the basket and looked back at me, almost making me lose my balance.
“…very well, thank you.”
“There’s no need to thank me.”
“In that case, I’ll buy you donuts again next time. I can’t buy you every single kind, but my allowance should allow a trayful for each of us.”
I’ll accept your kindness, Shinobu said, with her face twisted in a wicked smile as if asking to be seen.
It was a horrible smile.
The smile of an enemy of justice.
“But you know, I have a personal grudge to take care of as well.”
“Hm? A personal grudge?”
“That’s right. That girl who treated me - me, the legendary vampire! - like an old lady needs to be taught a lesson about what a difference in level there is between us.” -
“Where are you going? In order to do what?”
“To them. In order to fight.”
“For what?”
“For my little sisters.”
“What do you gain from that?”
“I gain nothing. I just lose a bit of my time.”…
“If your choice is to fight, I guess it can’t be helped - if you were to die, I would end up dying along with you. In order to protect myself, I can’t not fight alongside you.”
“…are you saying you’re going to help me?”
“Don’t get the wrong idea; I don’t want to do this - I really really don’t want to do this. I couldn’t care less what happens to your tiny little sister. I can’t help but help you in order to protect myself.”
“Your tsundere act is getting a bit tiresome.”
I said - and started laughing.
“Hmm- didn’t you want to die? Weren’t you a suicidal vampire?”
“Hmph, I’ve already forgotten about that early phase of my character. And I won’t be so reserved like the middle phase either. Right now, I’m just a donut-loving mascot character.”- Nisemonogatari Volume 2 “Tsukihi Phoenix” Chapter 11

One store has 2 adorable little girls and tons of donuts, the other one doesn’t even have counters and has 2 guys talking to each other.

“I’ve kept it a secret until now, but during my 500 years of living, I’ve had thoughts of destroying the human race a few times. But I swear with my fangs and my voice now before you: as long as Mister Donut exists, I shall not destroy the human race!”

“You think big, but your mind is shallow. What a 500 years you must have lived.” -
“Hey hey, don’t you think it’d be a good idea to accept my request? Do you want to be interfered with every time you have a chance to meet that twin-tailed girl?”
…
“A-are you threatening to take Hachikuji hostage!? My beloved Hachikuji! That’s playing dirty!”
Well, no.
In this case, Shinobu isn’t taking Hachikuji hostage, she’s actually trying to protect her.“Kuhuhuhu, if I were to use my hypnosis, I could let you touch [Hachikuji Mayoi] all you want without her stopping you.”
“Hmm… you’re trying to bribe me.”- Oshino Shinobu and Araragi Koyomi from Nisemonogatari Volume 2 “Tsukihi Phoenix” Chapter 6

I spoke still leaning on Shinobu, my hands fumbling around. I felt I might have accidentally groped her breasts, but that was something that couldn’t be helped right now, so I didn’t give any thought to it.
