Dielectric properties were investigated under various magnitudes and directions of magnetic field ($H$) for a chiral magnetic insulator Cu${}_{2}$OSeO${}_{3}$. We found that the skyrmion crystal induces electric polarization ($P$) along either in-plane or out-of-plane direction of the spin vortices depending on the applied $H$ direction. The observed $H$ dependence of …
