Though I would also say that, "speaking rudely" also depends on what reasons you have. If she speaks rudely to Otoya to legitimately call him out for what he did, then that's actually what should be done because not tolerating wrongdoings is the real respect and etiquette (for overall humanity to prevent others getting bad time). But if they're rude (Yuri isn't likely this as you said she's polite and formal to other customers) for the sake of being rude, then they're the wrong ones too, just that on occassions the victim is someone deserving. Also, though you said that she's good in combat, one of the complains about Kiva (I'm just saying complaint, because it's up to air if the complaint is legitimate or not) is her getting hit by the Distress Ball to become someone to be saved often, not living up to her reputations.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. What I meant to say is that the way Yuri speaks rudely to Otoya is similar to how Hiyori speaks rudely to most customers, but by contrast, Yuri can also be polite and formal. In Hiyori's case, she's inadvertently rude, while Yuri is selective and deliberate about her rudeness to Otoya.

In most situations, calling out Otoya for his behavior is the right thing to do, but a waitress is expected to treat customers with equal respect, even if they don't deserve it. However, it's okay to scold a customer if they're diminishing the experience for other customers, or staff, which Yuri is, so that's another reason why Master allows her to speak to Otoya that way, nobody's worried about him getting offended and they mostly just tolerate his presence.

Regarding the Distress Ball you mentioned, yeah, I'm going to be complaining about that very soon. Good thing this doesn't happen often. She's still a better fighter than even some female Riders like Rina as Delta and perhaps most infamously, Dark Necrom P.
