"Such an amusing sound" is not "I'm on to you," it's, "you're a clown."
Which Taka very well might be, but as we keep going over and as you keep trying to avoid dealing with, you don't say that kind of thing under these circumstances, and a man as obsessed with proper form and masking flaws as Yoshi should know that perfectly well. So either he doesn't, which I find incomprehensible, or he simply chooses not to because he regards Taka as so totally beneath his notice and respect that he thinks he can throw out the proper forms. When the "I like to dress up as a peasant" Taka begins the conversation with more gravity and politeness than you do, it's safe to say it's not because he knows better, it's because you have made a conscious choice to be a complete cretin.
