Just unscrew. The first photo has a compression fitting that slides up and down the drain tube.

In the second photo, some idiot has applied Teflon tape to the threads. Not needed as the seal in that connection is mating two surfaces. Teflon tape never to be used.

The fact the tape is there implies the fittings were also probably over-tightened by someone who didn’t know better. Over tightening will just make the leak worse!
