We have calculated the neutron electric dipole moment (EDM) in the presence of the $CP$ violating $\ensuremath{\theta}$ term in lattice QCD with two-flavor dynamical clover quarks, using the external electric field method. Accumulating a large number of statistics by the averages over 16 different source points and over forward and backward nucleon propagators, we have obtained nonzero signals of neutron and proton EDM beyond 1 standard deviation at each quark mass in full QCD. We have investigated the quark mass dependence of nucleon EDM in full QCD, and have found that nucleon EDM in full QCD does not decrease toward the chiral limit, as opposed to the theoretical expectation. We briefly discuss possible reasons for this behavior.
