So, mothy hosted a Q&A about the new novel. Or at least, it was supposed to be--looks like it got hijacked by Evillious questions, but I'm going to put some things noteworthy for the wiki here all the same:

-If Germaine was fighting Kyle (non-transformed) one-on-one, she would win, but if she and Kyle were each leading armies against each other Kyle would win.

-The new novel is part of a new series, and we should think of it as a different world (although it sounds like it might not literally be another world? So perhaps this is the Fourth Period after all).

-He plans to make at least 3 songs until summer (I think he's not sure about the movies for them). As for the movie for the tune he's already released (I think he means Heavenly), he's gonna try to have it out soon.

-Someone asks him about his love of bears and he tells an amusing little anecdote about having two bears a long time ago who were cute when they weren't attacking people (then revealing he's joking).

-Mothy claims that when writing the new novel he tried to make it a peaceful and heartwarming story where everyone becomes happy, but he gave up on that partway through (I think his way of saying that it's not necessarily going to be a fluffy kids book despite being aimed at children).

-After Riliane ran off, Josephine lived in the Millenium Tree Forest for a few years before meeting with an adult Riliane again. However, as she was an old horse by then she fell to illness and quietly passed away with all of the monastery watching over her.

-The bodies of animals that the forest spirits take on are not immortal--they can age like any animal. However, they are made out of a strange mud deep in the forest (probably the same mud Lich used), and so even if the body dies they can immediately be reborn into a new animal form.

-He confirms Nemesis' period is roughly analogous to the beginning of the twentieth century in terms of technological level (and that they've dispensed with notions of magic and demons by then).

-Ma is indeed pronounced "em ay".

-I believe we learned this during the livestream too but "her"/HER is pronounced "her" rather than "aych ee are" (should probably change some of the articles a little to reflect that I guess).

-Mothy hints we might have the chance to see Kaspar's face soon, but I can't tell if he's joking or not.

-Mothy hints that Salem is awaiting his chance to counterattack, having not had a chance to show up the entire Seven Deadly Sins novel series (but again, I'm not sure if he's joking or not).

-Crypton would have to give permission for any anime made about the series as it uses their characters, and so far their permission doesn't seem to be forthcoming.

-I think this was also stated in another interview, but mothy originally planned to have a scene in Praeludium where Germaine, traveling with Yukina, ended up finding the village Leonhart kidnapped her from and learning the truth of her adoption, but it got cut for various reasons.
