"Ahem, well, I just thought of something funny. Don't mind me!"
Chen Shi gave a couple of awkward chuckles and picked up the pace of his work.
By now, the Goodra leading the group was getting anxious.
"Goodra?"
(What exactly are you trying to do? We already gave you the Berries. Why won't you give us back our Goomy?)
"Come on, I already told you not to worry. I'm not up to anything bad. I just want to make a deal with you."
"Relax, I won't hurt these three Goomy. Besides, I'm right here, and I'm not running away. What are you scared of?"
"Goodra!"
(First you tried to steal our Berries, and now you've captured our own kind. And you say you're not up to anything bad?)
"I was in a bit of a bind earlier, wasn't I? Besides, you can't eat all your Berries. They'll only go bad sitting around. If I help you eat a few, I'm taking a problem off your hands."
"And I was clearly about to leave just now, but you insisted on attacking me. So I had no choice but to resort to this~"
Goodra: "..."
Well, in all his years reigning over the Hisui Region, this was the first time Goodra had been left so utterly speechless.
You really have no fucking shame.
What do you mean, taking a problem off our hands?
Buddy, it's winter here!
It's cold enough to freeze a dragon to death. How the hell are the Berries supposed to go bad?
What, are they going to freeze to death too?
The Goodra leader sighed softly. He glanced at the three Goomy held by Dreepy and could only wait patiently.
What else could he do? This human had him by his weak spot.
Whatever the human said went!
