What does the last bubble on the lower left side (おまえすがすがしいな) mean? What does
すがすがしいな mean in this context?

Dictionary meaning is

> refreshing; brisk; bracing; fresh; refreshed

How is the dictionary meaning used in the above context? Is there some other
meaning to すがすがしい?

What does すがすがしいな mean?
「すがすがしい」, in this context, is used just a little bit sarcastically to refer to
the girl's unreserved manner of speech.

My best TL for 「おまえすがすがしいな」 would be:

> "You don't beat around the bush, do you?"

I've just found this site and I agree to the first noter.

すがすがしい has at least two meanings - one is what you wrote and the other is
"without hesitation when you change their mind in the way that people normally
hesitate to do, thinking about people's reaction."

I hope this will help.

(却って/むしろ)すがすがしい(ほどの) is often used sarcastically, preceding a bad expression.
It means something is so typically bad that it almost feels good.

  * すがすがしい(ほどの)嘘: an obvious lie which almost sounds like a joke
  * すがすがしい(ほどの)変態: a 100% pervert without reservation who is even almost admirable
  * すがすがしい(ほどの)馬鹿: a "perfect" idiot

The guy said お前すがすがしいな because Yotsuba's line was so typically selfish that it
even sounded funny instead of irritating.
