We present our result for the $K\toππ$ decay amplitudes for both the $ΔI=1/2$ and $3/2$ processes with the improved Wilson fermion action. In order to realize the physical kinematics, where the pions in the final state have finite momenta, we consider the decay process $K({\bf p}) \to π({\bf p}) + π({\bf 0})$ in the nonzero momentum frame with momentum ${\bf p}=(0,0,2π/L)$ on the lattice. Our calculations are carried out with $N_f=2+1$ gauge configurations generated with the Iwasaki gauge action and nonperturbatively $O(a)$-improved Wilson fermion action at $a=0.091\,{\rm fm}$ ($1/a=2.176\,{\rm GeV}$), $m_π=260\,{\rm MeV}$, and $m_K=570\,{\rm MeV}$ on a $48^3\times 64$ ($La=4.4\,{\rm fm}$) lattice. For these parameters the energy of the $K$ meson is set at that of two-pion in the final state. We obtain ${\rm Re}A_2 = 2.431(19) \times10^{ -8}\,{\rm GeV}$, ${\rm Re}A_0 = 51(28) \times10^{ -8}\,{\rm GeV}$, and $ε'/ε= 1.9(5.7) \times10^{-3}$ for a matching scale $q^* =1/a$ where the errors are statistical. The dependence on the matching scale $q^*$ of these values is weak. The systematic error arising from the renormalization factors is expected to be around $1.3\%$ for ${\rm Re}A_2$ and $11 \%$ for ${\rm Re}A_0$. Prospects toward calculations with the physical quark mass are discussed.
