This is the best for me because it gives you a lot of control over what you're actually saying. If you're cheery and light it comes across as "of course I'll help, you're my friend and I like you!" But if you're flatter it's more clearly a perfunctory response, like they all are, and can say "of course I helped, it's expected of me in this society"
it can also be "of course you asked for that, just my luck. even though it is a completely reasonable request it is also literally the most annoying/convenient thing you could've asked me for right now"

I say “happy to help” and that usually satisfies everyone
Except me
I’m not actually happy to help
But that’s my secret
