The doubly charmed tetraquark recently discovered by the LHCb Collaboration is studied on the basis of -flavor lattice QCD simulations of the system with nearly physical pion mass MeV. The interaction of in the isoscalar and -wave channel, derived from the hadronic spacetime correlation by the HAL QCD method, is attractive for all distances and leads to a near-threshold virtual state with a pole position keV and a large scattering length . The virtual state is shown to evolve into a loosely bound state as decreases to its physical value by using a potential modified to MeV based on the pion-exchange interaction. Such a potential is found to give a semiquantitative description of the LHCb data on the mass spectrum. Future study is necessary to perform physical-point simulations with the isospin-breaking and open three-body-channel effects taken into account.
