Sorry, in addition, I have something to know.

The following messages are presently displayed when both libraries of
lmerTest and lme4 were loaded in one program.

The following objects are masked from ‘package: lme4’: lmer
The following objects are masked from ‘package: stats’: step

It seems that I should specify which package (lme4 or lmerTest) to use the
function of lmer.
However, before this problem, such messages might not be displayed.
Is this related to the problem ?

Very sorry to bother you while you are busy, but I appreciate your
cooperation.
