Huh, this is pretty cute alternative story. I like how Aqua's personality remains the exact same somehow despite getting tossed out on her ass by her parents. Also, them being childhood friends works out pretty well and it's a cute backstory for them.
well, maybe this is Kazuma past life before get Isekai'ed (and remember, he is 22 in LN) and because heartbreak or get rejected for applying job he become a NEET
The artist has done an excellent job bringing Aqua's worthlessness into modern society. Now we need her usefulness as well. How would her talent in healing with divine power translate to our world?

Illegal doctor. While being useless at most times on the opperation table she is among the best on the world. Even without any real training.
I get the feeling Aqua would have a potential career as a pop-idol girl, although maybe calling her a "success" would be debatable.
Her songs and entertainment work would be really popular, but her usual bad habits would leave her perpetually poor, either from paying for whatever embarrassing situation she got herself into, or paying back what she already owes Kazuma.
Aqua and Kazuma▷ Job hunting vol.
Despite her confinement at home having been meant to be a kind of punishment, after seeing Aqua take to enjoying her self-indulgent shut-in life like a fish to water, her parents were hit even harder. At this time, Aqua and Kazuma were both hooked on MMOs and would often play together, but after entering his third year of middle school, Kazuma said he "wanted to focus on his entrance exams" and graduated from MMOs. One year later, concerned about the situation, her parents told her they "wish she'd start working soon", and Aqua began job-hunting with thoroughly disastrous results.
She once again justified herself with tortured logic such as "It's not my fault it's not working out. It's the world's fault nothing is going well," but this statement only brought down the wrath of her parents who had been abundantly patient with her, and she was thrown out of the house despite her desperate protests.
